You can use the Run command locally or on an Arbutus Windows Server (provided an Arbutus Windows Server table is already open) to:
| • | run a Windows application (i.e. from an Analyzer procedure). The called application can be passed valid parameters as required and automatically returns a variable called RETURN with a return code set by the called application that is between 0 and 255. Where necessary, the Analyzer procedure can be programmed to test the RETURN variable for the return code to see if the called application was successful. |
| • | run a DOS batch file (.bat) or a DOS command - you must always fully path the DOS batch file or DOS command to ensure the correct directory location |
Note: The Analyzer procedure calling the Windows program will pause until the called application ends. A command window may be visible while the called application is running and will close automatically - do not close it manually.
You can use the Run command for an Arbutus zSeries Server to:
| • | submit an offline job (from an Analyzer procedure containing the required JCL) on the Arbutus zSeries Server. |
| • | display JES listings (for a submitted offline job) in the Analyzer Command Log. |
Note: Before displaying JES listings, be sure the submitted offline job has completed.
For more info see Procedures As Offline Jobs.
Note: The RUN command is not valid for other Arbutus Servers and will be ignored.
RUN windows_application_executable_name <valid_parameters>
RUN DOS_Batch_Name
RUN DOS_Command_Name
RUN JCL JCL_Procedure_Name
| • | JCL JCL_Procedure_Name issues the Analyzer procedure containing the JCL |
RUN JES Jobname
| • | JES Jobname displays the JES listing for the JCL job created in the RUN JCL command |
