SYMPTOM(s):
4GL/ABL: Error executing OS-COMMAND with the SILENT NO-CONSOLE options.
'NO-CONSOLE' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Executing the following code snippet:
DEFINE VARIABLE cCommand AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
cCommand = "DIR *.* > temp.txt 2>&1".
OS-COMMAND SILENT NO-CONSOLE VALUE(cCommand ).
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows
OpenEdge 10.x
CAUSE:
The OS-COMMAND is designed to work with one and only one option from the following option set [ SILENT | NO-WAIT | NO-CONSOLE ]. The error is generated because the statement is using the two options SILENT NO-CONSOLE and is viewing the second option NO-CONSOLE as part of the command to be executed.
FIX:
Since the correct syntax of the 4GL/ABL OS-COMMAND statement is:
OS-COMMAND [ SILENT | NO-WAIT | NO-CONSOLE ] [ command-token | VALUE ( expression ) ] ...
The solution is to include one and only one option from the following option set [ SILENT | NO-WAIT | NO-CONSOLE ]. For example:
DEFINE VARIABLE cCommand AS CHARACTER NO-UNDO.
cCommand = "DIR *.* > temp.txt 2>&1".
OS-COMMAND SILENT VALUE(cCommand).
