Hi,
We're running a PowerBuilder 9 program that calls another program written in a different language, for which we don't have access to the code. The other program is being run using the run() function, with a parameter. It returns an integer; 1 means 'yes', 2 means 'no'. Any idea how I can read/store the output? The return value (1 or -1) from the run() function only tells me if the other program ran or not, but I need to use the output (1 or 2) to determine what happens next in the PowerBuilder program. It seems this should be something simple to implement in PB, but is not.
Thank you for any help or suggestions,
Justin B.
