- Hi ..
- I am new to writing DCL programs. I tried to make a program
- execute commands other than those issued at the '$' prompt, but just
- couldn't figure out how to do it. For example .. What would be the code
- for a program that would read 2 mail messages, then return back to the
- '$' ? .. The following did NOT work :
-
- $ mail
- $ read 1
- $ read 2
- $ exit
-
- Thanks for any help.
- Hany.
