I am trying to create a script to run scripts from a file and would like to be able to declare a "rootDirectory" variable. Example: I keep getting a syntax error and can't figure out where/what it is? |

The READ statement is a client-side dbisql[c] statement and cannot be used in a server-side batch or procedure. Try using xp_read_file or read_client_file. xp_read_file() will read a file on the server, while read_client_file() will read a file on the client (but the data is automatically sent to the server). See the docs for more information and examples. HTH |

As Mark indicates, you can't do exactly what you are asking, but perhaps you can do what you want with the PARAMETERS statement; see READ and PARAMETERS. Here's an example... run_dbisql16_READ_master.bat "%SQLANY16%\bin64\dbisql.com"^ -c "ENG=ddd16; DBN=ddd16; UID=dba; PWD=sql"^ READ ENCODING Cp1252 "master.sql" [c:/temp/] master.sql PARAMETERS rootDir;
READ '{rootDir}MyDevScript1.sql';
READ '{rootDir}MyDevScript2.sql';
c:\temp\MyDevScript1.sql MESSAGE 'MyDevScript1.sql has been executed.' TO CONSOLE; c:\temp\MyDevScript2.sql MESSAGE 'MyDevScript2.sql has been executed.' TO CONSOLE; dbsrv16 console output... MyDevScript1.sql has been executed. MyDevScript2.sql has been executed. Breck, it looks like you're right. I'm still getting a syntax error using "read_client_file()" it seems that any declared variable is being treated as a literal. The problem is that I need the script to be as simple and straight forward as possible without having to run/maintain external batch files.

If you are having a problem with read_client_file(), please post your exact code in a new question, along with the exact error message.
