Hide/suppress CMD.exe prompts?

[Krueger]

Hello all I'm running the following code:

%sysexec( copy "\\uncpath\file.xlsm"
               "\\uncpath\file.xlsx" ) ;

Proc export data = want
	outfile = "\\uncpath\file.xlsx";
	Dbms = Xlsx replace ; 
	sheet='sheet 1';
run ; 
%sysexec( copy "\\uncpath\file.xlsm"
               "\\uncpath\file.xlsx" ) ;

The above works fine, but I do get a prompt for each %sysexec() command I run. 

Is there a way to hide this cmd.exe window? It copies my .xlsx sheet to my .xlsm sheet just fine but I'm trying to automate this to run on it's own and currently I have to close out of this window each time. I haven't been very successful in finding a way to prevent this thus far. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

options noxwait noxsync;

It's one of those, can't remember which does what though.

Noxsync took care of the cmd.exe prompt and the windows prompt that shows up. FCOPY for some reason corrupted both of my files. Maybe there was something else to it though?

Try as binary?

You could also use FCOPY to avoid the issue and have the code be system agnostic.
