SYSTEM Statment Interactive SQL

[robert_kratschmann]

I tried to execute SYSTEM statements like

SYSTEM 'notepad.exe';
or SYSTEM 'c:\\Windows\\write.exe';

in Interactive SQL. But none of them are sucessful on our machines. Interactive SQL is showing only

SYSTEM 'notpad.exe'; -- Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17763.437] -- (c) 2018 Microsoft Corporation. Alle Rechte vorbehalten. -- -- C:\\WINDOWS\\system32>

in the "History" tab. The "Results" tab stays empty and no new Window, running the executable, is opened. Executing Interactive SQL as Administrator is also not sucessful.

Many thanks

I can reproduce this. You may be able to workaround the issue as follows:

SYSTEM '/c notepad.exe';

Thanks Chris

it works. No idea were the workaround is coming from...

This issue is being investigated as Engineering Case 819194 and should be addressed in a future software update.

The /c is a switch for default Windows ComSpec cmd.exe.

Thanks Chris for Engineering Case 819194 and the comments on "/c"
