  NAME
       callci -- run a MPE/iX CI command from the MPE/iX Shell

  SYNOPSIS
       callci command_string
       callci -

  DESCRIPTION
       The callci command allows you to run a MPE/iX Command Ineterpre-
       tor (MPE/iX CI) command while in the MPE/iX Shell.  It concaten-
       ates all arguments specified on the command line together with
       appropriate spaces and then uses the HPCICOMMAND intrinsic to
       submit the resulting string to the MPE/iX CI for execution.  If
       the only argument specified is -, callci reads from the standard
       input one line at a time and submits each line to the MPE/iX CI
       for execution.

  EXAMPLES
       The following command lists all of the files in pub.sys.

          shell> callci listfile @.pub.sys

       This next example uses the MPE/iX CI COPY command to do a forced
       copy of a file foo to a file bar.  Note that the semicolon (;)
       must be quoted to prevent the MPE/iX Shell from interpreting it.

          shell> callci copy foo,bar;yes

       You could also enter the command as

          shell> callci "copy foo,bar;yes"

  DIAGNOSTICS
       Possible exit status values are:

       0  The call to MPE/iX CI was successful

       1  callci was unable to invoke MPE/iX CI or a command error
          occurred.

       2  Some other error occurred.

  Messages
       This utility generates no error messages itself; however, the
       MPE/iX CI or the command being executed may generate messages.

  PORTABILITY
       This command is unique to MPE/iX Shell and Utilities.

  MPE/iX NOTES
       callci is available as both a built-in shell utility and an
       external utility.
