Everyone, Thanks for your help. I got the batch file working with Michael's help. After getting the VB executable working on the client I moved it to the server and it is working there as well with input parameters. It seems the Set Field action is happy reading in the Echo output from a batch file. Similarly, the Set Field action is just as happy with the console.write and console.writeline output commands from VB. It looks like the "exit status code" is handled automatically when the executable program finishes.

If so what is the error?

That solved the problem relating to the batch file. Now I just need to get it working with my executable VB program. - Mark ________________________________ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Durrant, Michael M. - ITSD Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2007 1:58 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: $PROCESS$ Set Fields (Using Visual Basic or Batch File) Mark, It's printing ALL output from your bat file. Include the following line at the top of your file and you should get the desired result: @echo off This suppresses all of the prompt info you'd normally see.

I get the dreaded ARERR 1603 error. I could use a code snippet to see how the exit status code and return value need to be coded. I could also use a quick sample of a batch file that produces an output that I can capture with the $PROCESS$ Set Fields action. Here is what I tried: batch.bat: echo hello Set Fields action: $PROCESS$ C:\temp\batch.bat Field Value: D:\Program Files\AR System\User>echo hello hello Why do I get the first line "D:\Program Files..." and how do I avoid it without a REPLACE kluge? Thanks in advance. - Mark __20060125_______________________This posting was submitted with HTML in it___ _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org ARSlist:"Where the Answers Are"
