Hey, funny things happen. Type `prompt "%N.%S> "' before you
start program1. See what happened after program1 "ended"? The
CLI-Number changed (usually incremented by one). Enter
`endcli' and there it is :-). program1 didn't really end,
it's still inside Execute, which reads commands from input.
That's why it didn't print your message.

There are several ways to fix it. You can call
 Execute("program2\nendcli", input, 0)
or you can call
 Execute("program2", 0, 0)
In later case program2 has no stdin (or nil: as stdin or something
like that), so it has to open * to read from. Or you can call
 Execute("program2 <*", 0, 0)

BTW you needn't open dos.library yourself, it's done by SAS-startup-
code in c.o. If you do it yourself, you should do it right calling
OpenLibrary("dos.library", 0) (or whatever version you need). The
first answer I got from program1 was "Open lib failed".

Hm, I'm late with it, no too late, I hope.

 Best regards 

Please avoid replies from outside of .de, thanks.
