SYMPTOM(s):
DOS SILENT QUOTER statement fails.
The statement fails using the input file name 'InputFileName' in a variable with the VALUE option:
DOS SILENT QUOTER -C "1-60,61-120" VALUE(InputFileName) > OutPutFileName.
The statement succeeds using an explicit input file name:
DOS SILENT QUOTER -C "1-60,61-120" C:\WRK\MyInputFile > OutPutFileName.
Messaging the value of the variable InputFileName before the problem statement returns a blank:
MESSAGE InputFileName
VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX INFO BUTTONS OK.
DOS SILENT QUOTER -C "1-60,61-120" C:\WRK\MyInputFile > OutPutFileName.
CAUSE:
The variable InputFileName is not being resolved correctly into a valid file name due to a logic error in the code before the problem statement is executed.
FIX:
Correct the code logic that constructs the name of the input file to ensure that it results in a valid file name that is in the Progress session PROPATH.
