I need to know exactly what /VESOFT/AUDITC/ALTGROUP is -- NMPRG, PROG, or CI
command file?

If it's an NMPRG, you should be doing:

system("/VESOFT/AUDITC/ALTGROUP TEST\;ONVS=APPL_VOL\;FILES=40000000")

Note the use of \ to escape the semicolons which have meaning to the POSIX
shell which gets invoked when you do system().

If it's a PROG or CI command file, you should do:

system("callci /VESOFT/AUDITC/ALTGROUP TEST\;ONVS=APPL_VOL\;FILES=40000000")
