Hi,

Can someone help me, please.

I'm trying to execute the 'ps' command from an MPE Job and and getting
error. However, when the same 'ps' command is executed interactively, it
works just fine. I'm on MPE 5.5. The 'ps' command runs from the scrip
'Jobses.jSignal' (listed at the bottom).

version for 'ps':
