Hello,

I am trying to execute one T3I file by using EDASTART -f.

Here is my t3i file:
 
%connect
%begin

APP PREPENDPATH db2_target

-SET &USER = 'ADMINISTRATOR'

EX c:\ibi\apps\Proc.FEX

%end
%disconnect
%stop_server


When I execute that t3i file the FEX procedure is running well but the following message appears in the t3o file:

 
 (FOC1517) UNRECOGNIZED COMMAND -SET &USER = 'ADMINISTRATOR';


Can you tell me how I can set the &USER variable?

Thanks in advance.

You need a semi-colon at the end of your -SET command, it seems.

I have tried the following:
 
-SET &USER = 'ADMINISTRATOR'

-SET &USER='ADMINISTRATOR'

-SET &USER='ADMINISTRATOR';

-SET &USER = 'ADMINISTRATOR';


Each one of the previous lines return the same error.....

Here's why:

The T3I script is not executed as an adhoc focexec file, but rather as "sysin" input -- like keyboard input under traditional FOCUS.

Dialog Manager pre-processing does not take place, so only FOCUS language commands are recognized.

That's also the reason why the optional & in
EX c:\ibi\apps\Proc.FEX &USER = 'ADMINISTRATOR'
does not need to be escaped.

There is an alternative method where you have any required variables as global variables in another fex and EX that prior to the main one

so for example

%connect
%begin
APP PREPENDPATH db2_target
EX c:\ibi\apps\Variables.FEX
EX c:\ibi\apps\Proc.FEX
%end
%disconnect
%stop_server

would work
