Hi
I am using swpruncmd for the first time.Till now I used run command as
follows
I ran my prog like

e:\info4\myprog.exe

in the program I have

cPDataDir := "\info4\06\pt06"
cChgdir := "cd"+cPDataDir
run (cChgDir)
? FT_DEFAULT() + ":\" + CURDIR() + "\" // new path ->
e:\info4\06\pt06\

instead of above I changed my prog as follows

e:\info4\myprog.exe

Success := swpruncmd(cChgDir)
IF (!success)
? "Swap failed"
majerr = SWPERRMAJ()
minerr = SWPERRMIN()
? "Error codes :", majerr, minerr
clear all
clos all
quit
ELSE
? "Swap succeeded"
? "Errorlevel :", SWPERRLEV()
? FT_DEFAULT() + ":\" + CURDIR() + "\" // new path ->
e:\info4\
ENDIF

after running above I got

"Swap succeeded"
"Errorleve : 0"

but the path remaind at e:\info4\
Pls advice what mistake I am commiting
my os is w98

secondly I am planning to moving to winXP.I have heard it does not have
dos-prompt
facility.If it is so how do we compile and run applications compiled in
clipper ?

TIA

Because the "cd" is executed in a command shell that ends after the cd
This has no effect to the command line you clipper app is running.

Who told you that ?
I have Xp and are compiling and running clipper programs every day.

Why are you using SwpRunCmd() to just change directories??
Why not use FT_CHDIR() that's in nanfor library.

When you swap out to another DOS session you get a NEW shell which the commands
you send are executed in, when finished running your commands that shell closes
and your back into you apps shell and any/all changes you made to the
environment disappear.

That's crap - it's the new 64bit versions of windows that don't have DOS.

Hi Andreas and Stephen
Thanks for explanation.As I said I was using swpruncmd() for the first
time and thought using it for "cd" was the easiest.But as you have
adviced I will usr FT_CHDIR().

I have an application that use swpruncmd() to send an FTP message via
the DOS prompt. It's working well under Win98 but fail under WinXP.

It's not back in focus after the DOS prompt is closed, the first app is
left in the task bar...

By the way, it's a full screen app.

Any idea, thanks.
