Progress syntax to launch an app with command line switches

Yahoo Archive
1
I do something like this with the Open With popup menu in vantage :

if available AltPartRev then
chRev = " /r " + String(AltPartRev.RevisionNum).

RUN LaunchFile ("T:\Programs\Layup\Layup.Exe","/p " + chKey + chRev).

I makes our VB apps seem integrated with Vantage.

Subject: [Vantage] Progress syntax to launch an app with command
line switches


Good Afternoon (at least it is in Cininnati,OH),

I would greatly appreciate if one of the Progress gurus could
clue me into
the proper sysntax to launch a windows app and pass it a command
line with
parameters. Specifically I am trying to do this:

run the program c:\bartend\bartend.exe with command Line
/QP /S /CLOSE
/F=c:\barlabel\1505882-R02.btw

Eventually, I would replace the "1505882-R02.btw" with a value
pulled of the
Part table but I think I can handle that. Any guidance would be
helpful.

Thanks
