Errors in DXL Interaction Screen when connecting through C#

Errors displaying when a dxl is trying to execute through C# environment, but the same dxl is working fine when I use it directly with DOORS. The code I used in C# is as follows:

if (Process.GetProcessesByName("doors").Length == 0)
{
System.Diagnostics.Process proc = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
proc.StartInfo.FileName= "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\IBM\\Rational\\DOORS\\9.3\\bin\\doors.exe";
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = "-u ala12 -P a123#";
proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
proc.Start();
proc.WaitForInputIdle();
}
DOORSCOMLib.DOORS x = new DOORSCOMLib.DOORS();
string DXLStr = "Doors -u \"ala12\" -P \"a123#\" -b \" oleSetResult #include <E:/AnithaL/test1.dxl>\"";
x.runStr(DXLStr);

*****************************
test1.dxl contains very simple code, just for a trial.
int max(int a, int b) { if a incorrectly concatenated tokens
-E- DXL: <Line:1> undeclared variable (b)
-E- DXL: <Line:1> undeclared variable (P)
-E- DXL: <Line:1> undeclared variable (u)
-E- DXL: <Line:1> undeclared variable (Doors)
-I- DXL: All done. Errors reported: 5. Warnings reported: 0.
Please correct me if anything is wrong.

Your command line is invoking DOORS with user password and batch command. DOORS will start, run it, and end. You therefore don't need all that get-doors.exe-handle stuff in your "if" statement.

Your code didn't come through correctly. But it sure looks to me that your batch command resembles this:
  • oleSetResult int max(int a, int b) {if a bla bla bla}
It thus looks to me like you are sending function "max" to function "oleSetResult" which really should not work.

If the unprinted part of your code looks like this:
  • c = max(5, 4)
then perhaps your batch command can look like this:
  • -b \" #include <E:/AnithaL/test1.dxl>; oleSetResult(c) \"";
x.runStr(DXLStr);

Thanks for the reply.
I have changed the code as follows:

DOORSCOMLib.DOORS x = new DOORSCOMLib.DOORS();
string DXLStr = "Doors -u \"ala12\" -P \"a123#\" -b \" #include <E:/AnithaL/test1.dxl>;oleSetResult(c)\"";
x.runStr(DXLStr);

Still getting the same DXL errors.
-E- DXL: <Line:1> incorrectly concatenated tokens
-E- DXL: <Line:1> undeclared variable (b)
-E- DXL: <Line:1> undeclared variable (P)
-E- DXL: <Line:1> undeclared variable (u)
-E- DXL: <Line:1> undeclared variable (Doors)
-I- DXL: All done. Errors reported: 5. Warnings reported: 0.

test1.dxl contains
int max(int a, int b)
{
if a < b then
return b
else
return a
}
print max(4,5)
Please tell me which part is wrong.

[1] You are openning a connection to DOORS and sending the following string to execute:
  • Doors -u "ala12" -P "a123#" -b " #include <E:/AnithaL/test1.dxl>;oleSetResult(c)"
Well, token "Doors" looks like a variable yes? Execute that manually and see what happens.

I think you want to send DOORS just this part:
  • #include <E:/AnithaL/test1.dxl>;oleSetResult(c)

[2] Your original command does not presume an existing DOORS process and should be sent to the operating system; changing "Doors" to "Doors.exe", and adding the path; telling it to start that new process with those command switches.

I think solution [1] is what you want.
