I meet a big problem with the system command call.

[Guest_imported]

I have a file list in a ascii file,and I need to copy them to another place,I can do it with the backup command,but I can't do it with awk system call.Even I can't run "system(tail $1);","system(ls $1);" and so on,with the following error message:

sh: /db2olap/app/Õã½­Ñ̲Ý/Sellstat/Sellstat.tct: 0403-006 Execute permission denied.

How can I get what I want with the system command call? Thanks.

Quote the system commands and have a space between the awk argument.

system( "tail " $1)
system( "ls " $1 ) Cheers,
