I think I found the issue.  It's not the echo commands that are
displaying.  When I issue the RUN MPEX.PUB.VESOFT;STDIN=tempfile that's
when the commands were displaying on my screen.  I modified the run
statement to redirect the output to $null and presto; it works!

Thanks for the input it did get me thinking out of the box!

I do this thins quite often but have no Problem with displaying that
information on the screen once it is redirected into a file.

like
(22): echo !HPGROUP > tmp
(23): echo !HPACCOUNT >> tmp
(24): print tmp
HF
OEKVP
(25): 

nothing is displayed.

[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.
