    Lawson 9 on Windows 2008 Server.

    I have a Lid session open and would like to use grep.  There's no docs for syntax in anything I could find at Inforxtreme, but I was hoping for it to throw me a bone and display a bit more that the one line "Usage" sytax that's displayed when invoked it with no arguments.

    I tried "help grep" which did't work, but Lid graciously suggested I try "grep /?".  This puts it in mode where keeps accepting keyboard input, including CR/LF.

    It wants something to terminate that mode,  but apparently I don't have anything it likes, because nothing I tried works.  I found Unix manuals that say Ctrl-Z should work, but not for me.

    Can someone point me to a syntax reference for Lawson grep?

    Thanks

      Ctrl-d should end the input. Just Google grep you'll find the man pages out there. This is, though I could be wrong, a cut down version of Unix. Last I tried it grep did not work anything like what it did on AIX or HP/UX.

        My understanding is that on Windows servers, the unix utils being used by Lawson are essentially stock cygwin. So if you are looking for documentation that should help.

        Cntl-D is the EOF signal in Unix environments and Cygwin consoles. In Windows/DOS it's Cntl-Z followed by an enter, Cntl-Z on it's own doesn't cut it.

          Thanks guys. Neither Ctrl-D not Ctrl-Z [Enter] seems to work. Maybe I could approach this another way. What I'd like to do is find the source for copybooks and libraries in order to trace out some program logic. I'm looking at the cobol source PR278PD. I makes several procedure calls that I can't find under the prod or pdlib folders, and I was trying to use grep to find them. One example is

          PERFORM 840-FIND-PRSSET1

          I've already tried creating the program shell with bldsh, but it barfs with errors like this:
          open(D:\lawdev\law/dev/prsrc/PR278.lkf) failed - Permission denied

          We're hosted by Lawson Manged Services, and they keep us pretty well locked out of anything fragile.

          Any ideas as to where this type of source might be located?

            Here's the output that I get when running bldsh on PR278 - Hopefully this will help.

              Thanks Greg.

              Managed serivces made a security change, and I was able to build the shell, and got similar output. I searched the files that were "syntax checked" and none include the source for some of the routines that were included in the built .cbl file, so that's still a mystery, but the main thing is that I can examine the full source. Now the fun begins.

                The 800 series routines are database io routines. 800-create-tablename, 810-recreate-tablename 820-store-tablename 830-delete-tablename 840-find-indexname 850-find-nlt-indexname 860-find-next-indexname etc...

                The "source code" for these is not stored anywhere that I know of, and is generated on the fly.  These routines are built into the build shell routine (bismark), and into the runtime monitor (lapm).
