Create a command separator macro in TestConfig/makefile

[Mesbah-Alam]

We need to create a command separator macro which needs ot be ';' for unix and '&' for Windows.

This results from the fact that we have '' being used in playlist.xml for testkitgen which won't work for WIndows.

Quoting Simon's comment in https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk-systemtest/pull/24/files "\ is not valid in a Windows shell. Instead you could create a macro AND_THEN (or a similar name) with a value of '&' on windows, otherwise ';'. and then use cd $(OPENJDK_SYSTEMTEST_ROOT)/openjdk.build && make test.ClassloadingLoadTest JAVA_ARGS=$(Q)$(JVM_OPTIONS)$(Q) $(AND_THEN) $(TEST_STATUS)"

The command in playlist.xml will be used to generate make target and command. The tests runs ok on windows in the lab machines. What is your error message?

Is there an update on this? I am going through older issues to see which can be or have been resolved.

Thanks for reminding me, Shelley.

This turns out to be a non-issue, as we have the functional tests running on Windows in the eclipse openj9 builds, where ;\ in the command line in playlists didn't create any problem. And also, as Lan had indicated, they are running in jobs in internal build as well. I am therefore closing this issue.
