passing -rx flag in system call in processing

[Walter Vaughan Jr]

You need to have filePro expand the "zf" variable.
 Turn the command you want into a varable as in 

XX="/u/appl/fp/dreport filename -f create -rx" <zf<"-u -a -v createselect"

system xx

Subject: passing -rx flag in system call in processing

I'm trying to execute the following within processing but doesn't seem to work...


@done
system "/u/appl/fp/dreport filename -f create -rx zf -u -a -v createselect

where 'zf' is a variable I have defined in my processing....

this doesn't do anything.....I have verified with a msgbox the value of zf is correct before it attempts to execute the above....

but if I run from the command line

/u/appl/fp/dreport filename -f create -rx "value of zf" -u -a -v createselect it runs just fine....

Is it possible I can't run this because the processing is an output processing table of  filename ?
(i.e. the same file I'm trying to run the system command is the same file where the output processing resides)

thanks

Scott
