[Tiny-cobol-users] Getting Result Of System Call

[Volker N. E. <eng...@qu...>]

Hi!

I want to call "mktemp" from inside my Cobol program. I tried it this
way:

       IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
       PROGRAM-ID.     T1.
      *
       ENVIRONMENT DIVISION.
       DATA DIVISION.
       WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
       01  W-QUERY.
           03 W-QUERY-1                PIC X(33)
              VALUE "mktemp /tmp/$0.XXXXXX 2>/dev/null".
           03 W-QUERY-2                PIC X          VALUE LOW-VALUE.
       01  W-RESULT                    PIC X(40).
      *
       PROCEDURE DIVISION.
       00000-MAIN.
           CALL "system" USING BY CONTENT W-QUERY RETURNING W-RESULT.
           DISPLAY "RESULT: " W-RESULT.
           STOP RUN.

When running this program, I see e.g.:

/tmp/sh.030370
RESULT:

How can I get the file name into my W-RESULT field? Is there a way to
accomplish this?

Thanks in advance
