Hi,

To run do cmd^zpipe(), do I need to put the code provided into a program and compile it?

Then when I run it replace cmd with the program that I wish to test?

In my case it would be  D SS^ZPIPE() OR  D ^%SS^SPIPE()

I really am new to this. I have access to the free online documentation and some cache programs.

Hi,

JOBEXAM? never heard of it.

The program is a MUMPS program. The results display on the screen. I need a program to execute that program to capture the result, write it to a file and email that file. A cron will run it every 15 minutes.

Thanks,

Bob

Hi,

I think that I am closer.

I created a wrapper. I opened a file, executed the SS program, closed and emailed the file.

But, The program displayed the results to the screen and created a zero byte file that it emailed.

How can I get the output to not display and get written to the open file?

Thanks,

Bob

Hi,

Cache on Unix

Hi,

Is this something that just can't be done in mumps/cache?

Thanks,
Bob

Hi, 

Yes, I think so.

I opened the file (file-name)  then I did USE file-name.

It displayed to the terminal and created an empty file.

Hello,

I looked up JOBEXAM. That might display what I need but, I need to be able to capture the result into a file and email that file every 15 minutes. So  if I use the program that I have or JOBEXAM, I still need a way to get the results into a file that I can email.

Thanks for your patience,

Bob

Hi,

Yes, my code does have all of the necessary error handling.

I did not have the ALL in the D statement. I added it with no space before the ^.

It compiled and ran. It did stop the program from prompting between pages but I still have an empty file.

Hi,

OMG!. Too cool. That worked.

Thank you very, very much.

Bob

Hi,

Oh,  good to know.

Thanks again.

Bob

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

Robert Cemper sent me the solution.

use file do ALL^%SS      ;; must be the same line

Worked perfectly.
