FAQ: Is it possible to pass a variable into a script using the 'exec' command in the translator? (SCI48331)

Answer

Within an extended rule:



1. The variable being passed to the exec command must be held within brackets



2. If the parameter being called contains preceding spaces it must be held within quotes in order to pass the full string to the program.



Example:



string [90] MailString;

string [120] ProgramName;

integer nReturn;

nReturn = 0;

Begin



MailString = "\"" +"New Blanket Order Document: " + #SYEDOC + " Trading Partner: " + #SYPNID + "\"";

ProgramName = "C:\Mailscript.cmd" + "MailString"

nReturn 0 exec (ProgramName);



End
