Subject: passing -rx flag in system call in processing<br>
<br>
</span><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5">I'm trying to execute the following within processing but doesn't seem to work...<br>
<br>
<br>
@done<br>
system "/u/appl/fp/dreport filename -f create -rx zf -u -a -v createselect<br>
<br>
where 'zf' is a variable I have defined in my processing....<br>
<br>
this doesn't do anything.....I have verified with a msgbox the value of zf is correct before it attempts to execute the above....<br>
<br>
but if I run from the command line<br>
<br>
/u/appl/fp/dreport filename -f create -rx "value of zf" -u -a -v createselect it runs just fine....<br>
<br>
Is it possible I can't run this because the processing is an output processing table of  filename ?<br>
(i.e. the same file I'm trying to run the system command is the same file where the output processing resides)<br>
<br>
thanks<br>
