sdfcmd Execute system command

The sdfcmd function calls a command without exiting the program mode. The sdfcmd

function is based on the CMD macro described in the “Executive Macros” manual [8 (Related publications)].

Format:

---

int sdfcmd (char *area, int sysout, int dialog, int list, char *cmdrc, char *buff);

---

Description of the parameters

char *area	Pointer to a string containing the command to be executed. SDF internally converts the string into a variable-length record.
int sysout	Specifies whether the log is to be output to SYSOUT and/or the log buffer: 0 : SYSOUT = NO (SYSOUT only) 1 : SYSOUT = YES (SYSOUT and buffer)
int dialog	Specifies whether an error dialog is to be initiated if syntactical errors are discovered: 0 : DIALOG = NO 1 : DIALOG = YES
int list	Specifies whether the area string contains more than one command with semicolons as separators 0 : LIST = NO (only one command in the string) 1 : LIST = YES (more than one command in the string)
char *cmdrc	Pointer to a string (9 bytes) in which the command processor is to store the command return code. cmdrc must be aligned on the halfword boundary.
char *buff	Pointer to a string into which the log is output (BUFMOD=SHORT, see the CMD macro).

Result

The function returns an integer as its result (see "Description of the C functions").

A version 3 parameter list (VER=3, PARMOD=31 - see CMD macro in the

„Executive Macros“ manual [6] is generated.
