I am a newbie to MPE.  Our vendor's application uses a MPE shell on
hp-ux.  I want to send a command to process via a script and cron but
am having trouble.  I am unsure if the issue is MPE or not.

The vendor has a batch_job unix process that runs as a service.  You
can modify the parameters of the batch_job by executing this from the
unix prompt:

mpe
:jobfence 7;queue=payrollque
:bye

There are 4 job queues, one of which is a default and is called
STANDARD.  When I try and run the command from a script it modifies
the standard queue, not the one identified after the semi-colon.  I am
assuming the semi-colon has a MPE meaning such as eof -or-  unix is
reading that as a cr/lf.

I have tried a couple things:

mpe << jobfence 7;queue=pyjobque

using various combo's of redirection << | ^M !

Ideas?

Thanks in advance
Doug
