I'm on AT&T UNIX 2.03.01 and I'm migrating working 6.0.36.7.1 forms to 7.1.4.1. Even the simplest of HOST commands will no longer return to the form. I'd like to check the return status but I am at a loss on how to do it. Any input appreciated.

NAME = KEY-STARTUP                                                  
TRIGGER_TYPE = V3                                                   
TEXT = <<<                                                          
DECLARE                                                             
  CSTRING CHAR(255);                                                
BEGIN                                                               
SYNCHRONIZE;                                                        
CSTRING := 'echo "\n**\n* Starting form DDBANK at: ';               
CSTRING := CSTRING || to_char(sysdate,'HH24:MI:SS MM/DD/YYYY') ||
          '\n**" >> $LOG/dbaform.log';                     
HOST( CSTRING, no_screen );                                                   
          
END;
