Routine to zip a file

Hi,
I am writing a routine to check the format of the file. If it is a file with .txt extension I need to zip it. I am using following lines to zip my file. But it is giving error message 'UnMatched Quotation Marks'

ucom1 = 'zip /chcprov/tempdir/Eload.zip '
ucom1 = ucom1:'/chcprov/tempdir/':inrec
CALL DSExecute('UNIX',ucom1,fil1,SYSRET)

where inrec contains the file name having *.txt extn. If I hardcode the file name in above statements it is working fine.

Code: Select all

ucom1 = 'zip /chcprov/tempdir/Eload.zip ' 
ucom1 = ucom1:'/chcprov/tempdir/':inrec 
* CALL DSExecute('UNIX',ucom1,fil1,SYSRET) 

Ans = ucom1

Include "*" before the line Call DSExecute ... and print the ucom1 variable. Check if the command is right.

You get this error when - compile time, run time, what? Also, is "fil1" a local variable you've built as well?

I have checked the value of ucom1. It is looking fine.

I got this error while executing the routine.

Post the unedited log message (copy/paste) that shows the 'executed command'. And answer the question about 'fil1'.

Value of ucom1= zip /xyz/abc/Eload.zip /xyz/abc/FILE1.txt

Error Message from routine :
Result = Unmatched quotation marks.
Verb """ is not in your VOC.

fil1 is a local variable defined in routine
