While using this command in routine : Call DSExecute("UNIX",grep 'File' PathName,Output,SystemReturnCode)
I am getting following warning msg : 'WARNING: Variable 'grep' never assigned a value'
could you please provide your inputs on this warning
regards,
Hiten

Hiten,

You need to set a variable to the Unix command you wish to execute and then use this variable in the DSExecute funtion.

Cmd = 'grep ':Filename:' ':Pathname
Call DSExecute('UNIX',Cmd,Output,SystemReturnCode)
