Question does anyone know about the ied utility?

I am having an issue with the ied utility. I am running HP-UX 11.0
we use ied to connect to an oracle database, I have an alias sqlp setup to connect to the db and every time I try to use sqlp it hangs, but I am able to connect to the database using sqlplus so I know I do not have a problem with the db. here is the ied command I am using:

ied -h $HOME/sql_hist -s 200 sqlplus atest/atest

I contacted HP last week and no one seems to know about the ied utility to answer my questions.

If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.
thanks

You mention you have an alias sqlp - can you post how it is set up?

Does the ied command (that I am assuming is in the sqlp alias) work on it's own (typing it all in on the command line)?

here is the .alias file:

alias sqlp= 'ied -h $HOME/sql_hist -s 200 sqlplus atest/atest'


no, it does not work when I run the ied command on the command line.

here is some more info.......
we have a test box that is identical to this one and it works.
it works via the .alias file and on the command line.
HP asked me to check the stty setup and the terminal configurations, which are setup the same on both systems. we have not added/changed anything on this system, this just stopped working from one day to the next.

Have you tried different combinations of the -i and -t options? That may help but you have something else going on if 'nothing changed' and both the servers run exactly the same.

HP should support the utility - according to the man page it was developed by HP.

Any others have some thoughts on this?
