I try to unzip a zip file but when I type :
run unzip.exe file.zip dka300:[temp]
I got this error "%DCL-W-MAXPARM, too many parameters - reenter command with fewer parameters"
The reason for this is that DCL's RUN command only takes one parameter - the name of the image to execute.
N.B.: Not sure what you're trying to do with the "dka300:[temp]" parameter above; any parameters to UNZIP but the first designate files to be extracted from the archive.
if i type only "run unzip" i got the unzip help
what I am doning worng here ?
You need an invocation of UNZIP that doesn't use DCL's ciommand line parsing. This is done by defining a special symbol for it (called a foreign command):
$ unzip :== $device:[path]unzip.exe
Note the leading "$".
Then you can call UNZIP like
$ unzip file.zip
and it will happily extract all files from file.zip into your current directory.
