FACT(s) (Environment):

WebSpeed 2.x

FIX:

You cannot run os-command directly in a Webspeed application if you are expecting output from the os-command. You can use the INPUT THROUGH with a system call to handle the output as in the following example:


DEFINE VARIABLE ch AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
OUTPUT TO outfile.txt.
FOR EACH customer WHERE name BEGINS 'l':
DISPLAY name.
END.

INPUT THROUGH wc outfile.txt.
REPEAT:
IMPORT UNFORMATTED ch.
{&OUT} html-encode(ch) SKIP.
END.
*** Please note that INPUT THROUGH is for NT and UNIX only Another option would be to do an OS-command SILENT to do something in the background. But you still need to define the output device even if the command has no output. An example:


OUTPUT TO temp.tmp.
OS-COMMAND rmdir dirname.
OUTPUT CLOSE.
