want run other session of progress from one Session.

Dear All,

I just want to run other session from one running session of progress in window xp.

For that I am using the following statement.

os-command "C:\Program Files\PROGRESS\bin\prowin32.exe" .

But it is not working. Reason is clear the directory name "Program Files"

Since DOS not allow spaces in name.

Please suggest any other way to run other session from a running session.

Thanks

Use the old DOS syntax:

os-command "C:\Progra~1\PROGRESS\bin\prowin32.exe" .

Kevin is absolutely right! Alternatively if you want to keep the directory names as is, you could try one of the following as well...

os-command '"C:\Program Files\PROGRESS\bin\prowin32.exe"'

Notice the single quotes around the double quotes.... OR

os-command VALUE(QUOTER("C:\Program Files\PROGRESS\bin\prowin32.exe"))

QUOTER will add the relevant quotes for you!

As always... many ways to skin a cat! Hope this helps.
