I thought I'd try this on UniData v7.2 (Windows 2K3). Here's what I get:
4 Dev (0)-> BPTEST EXECUTE \!dir\ CAPTURING OUTPUT ; CRT OUTPUT
Compiling Unibasic: SAVEDLISTS\BpTest_383842951 in mode 'p'.

Richard,
When Universe shells down via the DOS command, it (Universe) doesn't
reliably handle standard output and/or error. The result is that DOS
output isn't always captured when EXECUTE'd (it seems to depend on the
command).
A more reliable strategy is to redirect the command output into
In *nix I've used cat. Not sure what the syntax would be in Windows.
Here's an attempt:
CMD = 'cat ':EMAIL.TEMPFILE:' | "C:\usr\lib\sendmail -t'
> CMD = '"C:\usr\lib\sendmail -t < ':EMAIL.TEMPFILE:' > -"'

Hi All,
I am trying to capture the output from an EXECUTE statement on a command
line program but nothing is being captured, even though I know there is some
output.
Here is the command
CMD = '"C:\usr\lib\sendmail -t < ':EMAIL.TEMPFILE:'"'
EXECUTE "DOS /c":CMD CAPTURING TRASH
