Re: MISSING COLON BEFROE COMMAND

Michael,

I have used the POSIX compress command in a job as follows for several years with no problems.

First set up, if you don't have one, a command file for SH

SYS:help sh
USER DEFINED COMMAND FILE: SH.COMMAND.SYS
XEQ sh.hpbin.sys -L

and then in your job for example

!sh
compress -v QUA0123
compress -v QUA0112
compress -v QUA0123V
exit
!

I have a stream with the following step in the middle of the stream:
!RUN SH.HPBIN.SYS
cp SRX913FX ./hfsfiles/SRX913FX.xls
exit
------------------------------------------------------------------
It usually fails (BUT NOT ALWAYS) as follows:
:RUN SH.HPBIN.SYS


END OF PROGRAM
..................Æ.
Missing colon before command name. (CIERR 981)
REMAINDER OF JOB FLUSHED.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
If I run the stream with this step only, it's always ok.
Any ideas ???
