I have developed a custom program that just calls a shell script....

When I try to add the job with the custom form in it, I get an error that says "The value {1} is invalid for the parameter _TKN"

Any clues what is happening here?

I think I solved my own issue. "Clear IOS Cache" and it now lets me add the job.

Found KB 1191499 that deals with this issue.

Greg, can we pass the status of successful run of the shell script back to the custom program. I too have called shell scripts couple of times but wasn' t able to check the status of the shell script back in the program. I wasn't able to get the status in the variable which they give with call system command. Thank you!

vJs - Yes, you can get a return from the script using the following syntax CALL "system" USING WS-COMMAND GIVING WS-RETURN-COMMAND. Where 02 WS-COMMAND. 03 WS-COMMAND-STRING PIC X(700). 03 FILLER PIC X(01) VALUE X"00". 02 WS-RETURN-COMMAND PIC 9(08) COMP VALUE ZEROES.
