Hi Larry,

You can turn OPTION LIST / OPTION NOLIST on and off within a command
file many times. If you do something like:
Option nolist
ECHO SETVAR _GRPPW VEUSERINFO("user.acct").PASSWORD >> MPEXEQ 
Option list

Bracketing your commands you want not listed it should accomplish the
result you want.

Hope this helps,

Paul Scott

Subject: [HP3000-L] Echo commands

I have a script that has some imbedded echo commands that echo commands
to a temp file.
These commands are deep in the file and I'm trying to find a way to
prevent these particular echo statements from displaying on the
terminal.
I can't use option nolist at the beginning because the other command
lines need to be seen.
 
I've tried turning off local echo and using the esc(A) esc(J) to move up
1 line and the delete but it appears to issuing these statements out of
sequence.
 
here's a sample:  ECHO SETVAR _GRPPW VEUSERINFO("user.acct").PASSWORD
>> MPEXEQ
 once the temp file is built then I run MPEX with the temp file; then
the file is purged.
 
I've even tried this (didn't work)
 
 ECHO SETVAR _GRPPW VEUSERINFO("user.acct").PASSWORD    >> MPEXEQ
>$null
 
and
 
 ECHO SETVAR _GRPPW VEUSERINFO("user.acct").PASSWORD    >> MPEXEQ
![chr(27)]M

	this left me with a temp file with empty lines.

 
I've run out of ideas and don't know what else to search for.
 
Thanks in advance.
 
El Bee.
