Clib Send Command Method

The Clib Send Command method sends a command to the command processor for the operating system and opens an operating system window where it runs. After completing the command, it closes this window. It returns the value that the command processor returns. For an alternative that does not open a window, see Siebel Library Call DLL Method.

Format

Clib.system(commandString)

Table 189 describes the arguments for the Clib Send Command method.
