I have a confusion between the different operating systems 32 and 64 BIT.

We have a small local area network working under Windows XP with the

SMALL BUSINESS SERVER 2003, all terminals running with 32 BIT

 

The only exception is my computer with Windows 7 in 64 Bit version.

 I have the following BAT file in order to look for open files in the server

OPEN-FILES.BAT contains:

s:

openfiles /query /v /s servidor >archivo.txt

notepad archivo.txt

 

If I run this file from C:\\   or from s:\\ it works fine, because it changes to the server disk S:

 

I included this same BAT file in a NETEXPRESS program.

000274 01 CmdShow                         pic 9(04) comp-5.

000275 01 CmdStatus                       pic 9(04) comp-5.

000035

000036 PROCEDURE DIVISION.

           MOVE "open-files.BAT" & X"00"      TO CmdLine.

           display CmdLine AT 0101.

           MOVE 1 TO CmdShow,

           call winapi "WinExec"

                     using by reference CmdLine

                           by value     CmdShow

                           returning         CmdStatus.

 

             DISPLAY "CmdStatus " CmdStatus.

             STOP " END".

 

But it does not work. I receive a message that says the destination must work under 32 BIT.

 

If I include the following in the program

         call "PC_SET_DRIVE" using   "S"

                           returning CmdStatus.

 

The result is exactly the same

 

Is there any directive to indicate that the target disk works unter 32 BIT

 I tryed already putting the whole BAT file in the program, but the result is more or less the same.

It does not work.

Any idea what to do?

Thanks

On a 64-bit OS there are two versions of this openfiles program, a 64-bit version in the C:\\windows\\system32 folder and a 32-bit version in the C:\\windows\\syswow64 folder.

If you start a 32-bit command prompt you will get the 32-bit version.
If you start a 64-bit command prompt you will get the 64-bit version.
On Windows 7 64-bit you must run the 64-bit version of this program.

If you are linking your Net Express program as 64-bit then your program would run as is.
If you are linking as 32-bit then it will find the 32-bit version of the program and report the error.

If you modify your .bat file to specify the following for the openfiles command it will run on a 64-bit system from a 32-bit application.

%systemroot%\\sysnative\\cmd.exe /c openfiles /query /v /s servidor >archivo.txt

I found a good article that explains this here:
