                                            | hi there,I have written a stored procedure  which calls a 'C' program using system command. I am getting an error while executing this stored procedure.Code:CREATE PROCEDURE logrec_sms00()    DEFINE sys_cmd        varchar(204);    LET sys_cmd = 'mpipewrite';    SYSTEM sys_cmd;END PROCEDURE;Here 'mpipewrite' is a C program. I am using Informix database on linux. I created this procedure using dbacess. My program is also stored in my home directory. I am getting an error as:-------------------------668: The system command cannot be executed or it exited with a non-zero sta127: ISAM error: no primary key------------------Can anybody help me to remove this error please????Thanks,Charuta |

                                          You will hardly get help on here because this is a forum for MS SQL Server.Maybe you can get better help on an Informix-forum. No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die.  |

                                          | hmmm... do you think its Informix problem? I though there must be some problem related to stored procedure syntax. Do you have an example of the stored procedure calling C program?Thanks,Charuta  |

                                          Your example code is completely different to all I have seen in SQL.So my example wouldn't help you.And you error isn't a syntax error so far...
