Example: Running IBM i commands from IBM PASE for i
This example shows how to run CL commands in an PASE for i program.
Note: By using the code examples, you agree to the terms
of the Code license and disclaimer information.
The following example shows how you call commands in an PASE for i program:
/* sampleCL.c
example to demonstrate use of sampleCL to run a CL command
Compile with a command similar to the following.
xlc -o sampleCL -I /whatever/pase -bI:/whatever/pase/as400_libc.exp sampleCL.c
Example program using QP2SHELL() follows.
call qp2shell ('sampleCL' 'wrkactjob') */
