Under Win2000 and OI 4.03, I have tried to run the Utility function with RUNWIN so as to run a program in minimized form and modally:

void=utility('RUNWIN','progname.bat',-6)

"6" for minimized, and "-" for modally.

The program "progname.bat" runs minimized, but not modally.

Dear Don,

No, I was not satisfied with the responses. Does "RUNWIN" not work with a -6 for minimized modal?

We are running a FORTRAN 2000 program which takes an input file from OI and OI must wait for it's results before it can continue!

Don/Steve,

I'm not sure how to run FORTRAN 2000 programs. However, I have been able to get RUNWIN with the -6 parameter to work. Here is the test code I was using:

Declare function Utility



rv=Utility("RUNWIN", "CMD.EXE", -6)



Call Msg(@Window, "The test is over")



RETURN 0

The message box wouldn't appear until I closed the command window. I have also used "NOTEPAD.EXE" as the application to launch with the same success.
