Redirection issues

[Lewis Rosenthal]

From CMD.EXE, running the following command results in the expected output:

DumpIDE b > report.dumpide

 2-09-14  13:39           6,336      0  report.dumpide

However, from 4OS2.EXE, we get a 0-length file:

 2-09-14  14:17               0      0  report.dumpide

I have tried all manner of stderr, stdout, etc. which come to mind, but no matter what I try, I cannot redirect the output of this particular executable to a file under 4OS2.

For reference, the verison of DumpIDE.EXE I am using is:

FWIW, pipe doesn't seem to work, either:

[c:\os2\apps\dani]type report.dumpide | grep 3249
18:00.00  1106:3249  IRQs: PCI:11 PIC: 0 APIC: 0

[c:\os2\apps\dani]DumpIde.exe b | grep 3249

The reason the redirection results in any empty file is because this dumpide traps on systems not running with acpi.psd. Please check popuplog to verify this. FWIW, I get 0 length files for both cmd.exe and 4os2.exe. Are you sure you are running both tests on the same platform?

Time to close this (I missed the incoming notification of your follow-up, Steve).

I can no longer reproduce this. The reports were run on my T43 without ACPI. Trying again, now, everything seems to work. Whatever was causing the problem before has evidently been corrected, but doubtful it had anything to do with 4OS2 directly.
