Hi everyone,
We would like to use OpenEdge for FTP or SSH to communicate with other servers. In this most concrete case we want to send over files using SSH.
This works just file with OS-COMMAND.
OS-COMMAND SILENT VALUE("o:\uvsb3\mailrap\pscp.exe -batch -pw {&password} " + ftpdir# + bestand# + " {&user}@{&server}:{&basisdir}" + subdir# + "/" + bestand#).
What we would like to get is a response when there is an error, so we can report this to the user.
I know this is not possible with OS-COMMAND, but I'm wondering if there is something in Progress OpenEdge that can make this possible.
You can capture anything that the process writes to stdout/stderr through OS-COMMAND:
DEFINE VARIABLE vStdOut AS CHARACTER INITIAL "std.out" NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE vStdErr AS CHARACTER INITIAL "std.err" NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE vLongchar AS LONGCHAR NO-UNDO.
OS-COMMAND SILENT VALUE('dir /s/b this_doesnt_exit') 1> VALUE(vStdOut) 2> VALUE(vStdErr).
COPY-LOB FROM FILE vStdErr TO OBJECT vLongchar.
IF LENGTH(vLongchar) GT 0 THEN
DO:
MESSAGE STRING(vLongchar) VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX ERROR
TITLE "Error from OS-COMAMND".
END.
