SYSCMD in an &INTCMD Environment

You can use the &INTCMD NCL statement to execute any command in your region in a dependent processing environment. The results of commands are queued to the dependent environment and can be read.

To read these results, use the &INTREAD NCL statement.

By using the SYSCMD command in this way, you enable any NCL procedure to issue an operating system command and to receive the results. Command authorization, in this case, is based on the authority of the user initiating the NCL procedure.
