Starts another program.
Syntax
Shell ( program [ , windowStyle ] )
Elements
program
A string expression whose value is the name of the program to run, including arguments. program can be the name of an executable file that uses a file name extension of BAT, COM, PIF, or EXE. You can omit the file name extension, and you can optionally include a complete path specification.
Using an internal DOS command name generates an error.
windowStyle
Optional. A number designating a valid window style, as specified in the following table.
Style Description Constant
1, 5, or 9 Normal with focus SHELL_NORMAL_FOCUS
2 Minimized with focus (default) SHELL_MIN_FOCUS
3 Maximized with focus SHELL_MAX_FOCUS
4 or 8 Normal without focus SHELL_NORMAL_NO_FOCUS
6 or 7 Minimized without focus SHELL_MIN_NO_FOCUS
The constants are defined in the file lsconst.lss. Including this file in your script allows you to use constant names instead of the numeric values assigned to them.
Return value
If LotusScript successfully starts program, Shell returns the number 33.
Note To get the program's task ID, use the Shellid function instead.
If LotusScript cannot start program, Shell returns an error.
Usage
Shell must be called from within an expression or an assignment statement, so that its return value is used.
After Shell starts a program, LotusScript continues to execute the script without waiting to make sure the program has completed. You cannot be sure that a program started by Shell has finished running before the rest of your script is executed.
