You might try defining a non-displayed character field long enough to hold your command, building the command using the concatenation operator, and then executing the 'host' command:
:COMMANDFLD := 'nohup my_process ' || :VARIABLE_1 || ' ' || :VARIABLE_2
' ' || :VARIABLE_3 || ' 2>error.msg';HOST(:COMMANDFLD); The above logic would invoke 'my_process' passing the character values contained in the VARIABLE_* fields as command line arguments. Just for kicks, standard error is redirected to an error message file.
Hope this works for you...
