how to run dos command from ASPECT script

[nguyenb9]

I have a dos file called "convert.exe", I would like to execute this from Aspect script and add this to the end of my script. For example, this is how I run the convert.exe from DOS level;
DOS> convert.exe filename

This is my script,and it works. I would like to this script:

#define PhoneNum "9714231234"
#define MicsFile "c:\programs files\symantec\procomm plus\upload\logixa"
#define OutFile "c:\programs files\symantec\procomm plus\download\logix.0728.dat.test"
proc main
dialnumber DATA PhoneNum
while $dialing
endwhile
if !$CARRIER
usermsg "Unable to connect to Southwest Bank server. Please try again later."
exit
endif
if FAILURE
usermsg "Unable to connect to Mics server. Please try again later."
hangup ;hangs up the phone line
pause 2 ;waits two seconds
pwexit ;Close Procomm Plus.
else
transmit "U"
waitfor "choice?"
pause 1
transmit "Z"
waitfor "file name?"
pause 1
transmit "LOGIXA^M"
pause 1
sendfile ZMODEM "LOGIXA"
endif
endproc


Thank you for your help!

Add this to the beginning of your script (just after proc main):

integer iStatus
string sFileName
string sCmdLine

Then add these lines after the sendfile command:

iStatus = $XFERSTATUS
sFileName = $XFERFILE
while iStatus == 1
yield
iStatus = $XFERSTATUS
endwhile
if iStatus == 2
strfmt sCmdLine "run %s" sFileName
run sCmdLine
endif

Thanks for your respond. what you are giving me didn't show the "convert.exe filename" from aspect script. For example, when I in the DOS level, I run this command "convert.exe filename" and it run fine, and I want to do this from ASPECT script. If you can provide some sample I would appreciated.

Thanks for your help.

Whoops, try changing the strfmt command to read like this:

strfmt sCmdLine "convert.exe %s" sFileName
