Syntax

EXECUTE_CMD Command ExecutionType ExecutionScope

Command	→	'AlphaConstant' \| AlphaVarId
ExecutionType	→	SYN \| ASYN \| None
ExecutionScope	→	PGM \| ALL \| None

Description

This instruction executes the 'AlphaConstant' command or a command specified in the alphanumeric variable AlphaVarId .

You can select the manner in which the instruction is executed:

*SYN	Synchronous
*ASYN	Asynchronous

The default setting is *SYN.

With AS/400 server modules, the execution type is ignored and the command is executed synchronously.

For Cloud client and Event client contexts:

*PGM	Limited to Adelia programs
*ALL	Adelia programs and system commands

For contexts other than Cloud client or Event client, these parameters are ignored.

Note:

If no executionScope is specified, Adelia programs and system commands are accepted. System commands can be prohibited by setting the following property when starting the JVM:

-Dadelia.execute_cmd.pgm.only=true

With this property enabled, so that EXECUTE_CMD can execute a system command, it needs to have the *ALL parameter.

To check whether the command has been executed successfully, you can test the *RETURN_CODE reserved word where the command is executed synchronously.

By default *RETURN_CODE takes the value returned by the program or the system command called.
In the special case of an EXECUTE_CMD with the *PGM directive of a non-existent program, *RETURN_CODE takes the value 1.
