Introduction to MPE XL for MPE V Programmers Migration Guide

HPCICOMMAND (NM) 
(new) 

You use the HPCICOMMAND intrinsic to execute an MPE XL command
programmatically.  Two parameters are required:  a character string for
the command name, and an integer for the error number.  You should use
the optional error parameter, as no condition codes are returned.  The
command in the parameter is executed as if it were directly entered in
the CI.

The COMMAND intrinsic on MPE V/E and MPE XL (CM) is analgous to the
HPCICOMMAND on MPE XL (NM), but HPCICOMMAND is more flexible and
powerful.  For example, you can not execute a UDC via COMMAND but you can
with HPCICOMMAND.

HPCICOMMAND searches UDCs, command files, program files and uses the new
implied RUN command.  Users with PH capability can create and handle
processes.
