unix scripting and Splus

[SaraNS]

Hi, I am trying to figure out how to call splus functions from unix scripts. I know we can use
Splus BATCH runfile.s out

But what if runfile.s has several input arguments? Where can I specify them?

Thanks!

Does Splus prompt you for these arguments?
If so then do this:

#!/bin/ksh
# 
Splus <<EOF
arg1
arg2
arg3
EOF

Otherwise if these "arguments" are parameters, then do this:

#!/bin/ksh
# 
Splus arg1 arg2 arg3

I need to pass some parameters from my unix script to the splus function. So i want to call splus inside the unix script.

In the second case, do you mean
Splus runfile.s arg1 arg2?

Thanks!

Hi

Try to put two dashes ( - ) before the script arguments :

Splus runfile.s [red]--[/red] arg1 arg2

This is the usual way to signal to an interpreter that the following arguments are for the executed script, not for the interpreter itself.

I hope it works with [tt]Splus[/tt] too.
