Why is the second argument of the Sys.createProcess script in Vijeo Designer giving an error when there is a space on a folder or file name?

Issue:

When there is a space when inputting the "args" on the Sys.createProcess, it gives an error as if there were 2 or more separate arguments.

Sys.createProcess(String processName, String args)

Product Line:

Vijeo Designer v6.2 and v6.3

Cause:

The "args" on the Sys.createProcess cannot contain an space on the path or file name, if it does, it will give an error since the command separates it into different arguments.

Resolution:

Double quotes are needed. Example:

Sys.createProcess("<complete path and file name of the application program>", "\"<complete path and file name to be opened or executed>"");

Incorrect:

Sys.createProcess("<complete path and file name of the application program>", "<complete path and file name to be opened or executed>");
