Thanks Lee, this is what I needed. It even works when started from a DB2
Command Window and running DB2 commands. I was afraid the
..oleObject~new("WScript.Shell") command creates a new environment but it
inherites the DB2 Command Window environment which is what I needed.

Another reason to force the customer to install at least Object REXX
2.1.3, they are still running with 1.0.3.

Kind regards, Gert

Lee,
Running the script below works on XP Home but hangs on Windows 2K.
It looks like oExec~Status remains 0. If I remove the first do-while
loop it runs without a problem. Any idea what's causing this 'problem'?

Kind regards, Gert


WshShell = .oleObject~new("WScript.Shell")
oExec = WshShell~Exec("db2 list database directory")

do while oExec~Status = 0
call SysSleep(1)
end

do while oExec~StdOut~AtEndOfStream = 0
say oExec~StdOut~ReadLine
end
exit

Gert,
The oExec~Status should remain at 0 as long as the Exec is running.
You can see this by taking my original example and change the
following:
oExec = WshShell~Exec("ping www.rexxla.org")
to
oExec = WshShell~Exec("calc")

You'll see that the status remains 0 until you close the calculator.

I'm reasonably sure you can remove the "do while" loop and be OK.

Thanks Lee,

I removed the 'do while oExec~Status = 0' loop and it worked wihout a
problem. Do you know if it's possible to display all methods and
properties of the 'oExec' object?

TIA, Gert
