UT-B  Run a Non-DBA Program

This option allows you to run a program that was not written or compiled as a standard DBA program, such as a word processing program. These are generally files with the extensions .COM and .EXE, or DOS commands.

Enter the name of the non-DBA program you wish to run.  You must include the complete path and extension.  After entering the program name, you may enter a command line to pass to the program, such as a document name if the program is a word processor.

NOTE:  If there is not enough memory available to execute the program entered, you will be returned to the Utilities menu and no error message will be displayed to indicate that the program did not execute.  If there is not enough memory available to run your program, you will have to exit DBA and run your program from the operating system.
