Inline commands in DCT

ushapriya

Hi

We had been using ipls (entity) in our dcrs. After upgrading to TS6 and moving to a new box, the dcts open only if iwperl is specified with extension (iwperl.exe). The older dcrs did not require the extension. Code snippet is shown below. Is there a configuration that was done in the other box, which i am missing here?? If so what? If not what should i do?

Thank you
Usha

Sounds like the new box does not explicitly assume that .exe files are implicitly executable.

if you go to a Command Prompt on the server and type:

echo %PATHEXT%

what do you see?

It should be something like (though not necessarily exactly): .COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.PL;.IPL

If you don't see .EXE in that list - that would certainly explain the behavior you're seeing.
If you do see .EXE in that list - then the problem is something else. As I don't use Windows very often anymore (thankfully) - someone else will have to pick it up from here...
