It is now possible to control whether xp_cmdshell starts a new window on Windows platforms. The behavior change applies to databases created with or upgraded to version 12.6 or later. The new behavior is compatible with other databases such as Adaptive Server Enterprise and Microsoft SQL Server.
You can hide the command window by specifying a second parameter in the call to xp_cmdshell.
For more information, see Adaptive Server Anywhere SQL Reference.
