I can execute the following KSH from cmd line in unix.

gen_multi_seq.ksh "FAMP.001.DAT" '"FAMP.001.DAT"' "001" '"001"' "AMP_D
+FR"

[download]

However when I try and execute the same thing in Perl using the following it fails. $grph_gen_multi_seq contains the path to and the gen_multi_seq.ksh value. This has been verified and is found correctly.

$return_val = system($grph_gen_multi_seq, "$data_source_contents[2]", 
+"\'\"$data_source_contents[2]\"\'", "$seq_num", "\'\"$seq_num\"\'", "
+$data_source_contents[1]");

I have also tried...without success

$return_val = system($grph_gen_multi_seq, "\"$data_source_contents[2]\
+"", "\'\"$data_source_contents[2]\"\'", "\"$seq_num\"", "\'\"$seq_num
+\"\'", "\"$data_source_contents[1]\"");

[download]

AND

$return_val = system($grph_gen_multi_seq, "\"".$data_source_contents[2
+]."\"", "\'\"$data_source_contents[2]\"\'", "\"".$seq_num."\"", "\'\"
+$seq_num\"\'", ""\".$data_source_contents[1]."\"");

What am I doing wrong? OH, I also verified that the data in the read arrays is correct. Logically one of these should work. Thanks for your help!!
