Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Calling script from RM cobol and returning value to cobol Post 302311798 by jim mcnamara on Wednesday 29th of April 2009 02:58:50 PM

Code:
01 WS-RETURN-SYS-CODE PIC 9(8).

That is a number not a string. When a script exits, the shell can return a maximum of an 8 bit number, not a string - ie 0-255 (unsigned). See man 2 wait (what COBOL calls when it fork/execs your script process). Write the return value to a file, then read it in from your COBOL.

NAME
ndisgen -- generate a FreeBSD driver module from a Windows(R) NDIS driver distribution SYNOPSIS
ndisgen [/path/to/INF /path/to/SYS] DESCRIPTION
The ndisgen script uses the ndiscvt(8) utility and other tools to generate a FreeBSD loadable driver module and a static ELF object module from a Windows(R) NDIS driver, for use with the ndis(4) compatibility module. The ndisgen script is interactive and contains its own help section. Unless the paths to both files are supplied on the command line, the script will prompt the user for the .INF and .SYS files needed to generate the FreeBSD driver module. The script will also prompt for any firmware or other external files needed. SEE ALSO
ld(1), objcopy(1), ndis(4), kldload(8), ndiscvt(8) HISTORY
The ndisgen utility first appeared in FreeBSD 6.0. AUTHORS
The ndisgen utility was written by Bill Paul <wpaul@windriver.com>. BSD
