Title: Cognos Data Manager
Post by: tale103108 on 11 Dec 2009 03:52:14 PM
Not sure this is the correct forum for this question -- if not, plz direct me to the correct forum because I did not see one for Data Manager.

I am trying to execute a system command from a job stream.  Usually the following works fine:

System('sqlldr file')

but I have a Perl script I want to run the has command-line options that use " or '.  So when I try

System('perl my_program.plx -e 'arg1' -f 'arg2')
Data manager gets confused -- how do I escape the quotes?   Thx.
