I have a piece of code that it appears it errors n the shell command. The reason I think this since the tempfile I create is still out there. Now the users say it happens everytime, but I can only find one error out there right now. I am still trying to figure out if that is the case, but thought I would see if anyone on the board might now of something I can check.


cmd = "mailx -s " & chr$(34) &"Project " & strip$(mail.cprj) & chr$(34)& " " & strip$(mail.addr) & "<" & temp.file
rc = shell(cmd, SHELL_NO_OUTPUT)
rc = seq.unlink(temp.file)

I think there is a conflict that the mailx has not finished executing and the seq.unlink() is called to delete the file.
Since there is no option like SHELL_WAIT for the shell() (http://www.baanboard.com/programmers_manual_baanerp_help_functions_starting_and_stopping_programs_shell), you can try to debug adding - SHELL_MWINDOW to your code.

SHELL_NO_WAIT : The shell function does not wait for the emulator to end. This is useful for starting shell processes (such as an editor) while continuing processing. The variable shell.pid is set to the process number of the activated terminal emulator process. A new main window is created.
SHELL_NO_OUTPUT : The terminal emulator does produce any output. This implies the SHELL_NO_MWINDOW option.
SHELL_MWINDOW : A main window is created. This displays the output of the shell command.

-OR-

Change the code to use the run.prog() (http://www.baanboard.com/programmers_manual_baanerp_help_functions_starting_and_stopping_programs_run_baan_prog_run_prog) since shell() is deprecated.

Deprecated. This function is supported for backward compatibility only. In new applications, use run.prog() and run.baan.prog() instead.

My code worked for a while, before I ported email interface to the CMF & SMTP options.
comd = "/bin/mailx"
if not isspace(subject) then
args = " -s " & quoted.string(trim$(subject)) & " " & email.addr
else
args = email.addr
endif
ret = run.prog(comd, args, RP_WAIT, trim$(file.path))

Thanks NPR. I will try to look at some of the option. The more I look at this the more it seems it was a one off situation. With about 4 months to go until we convert to oracle I might just toss a pause in for a couple of seconds see that helps. Then if a worse case scenario I will look at run prog.
