I was going to point out something else, but hey, let's totally change tack. Can you get a ftp SERVER for this PC? I am sure that there might be some on the cheap. Then yes, you could do it all from the 400. There are ways to pipe in and out of the ftp command on the 400. Sample: PGM PARM(&RMTSYSTEM) DCL VAR(&RMTSYSTEM) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(200) OVRDBF FILE(INPUT) TOFILE(MYLIB/FTPSCRIPT) OVRDBF FILE(OUTPUT) TOFILE(MYLIB/FTPOUTPUT) FTP RMTSYS(&RMTSYSTEM) DLTOVR FILE(INPUT) DLTOVR FILE(OUTPUT) CALL PGM(ANALYZER) /* Analyze FTP output by reading the FTPOUTPUT file */ ENDPGM The contents of ftpscript might look like user USERID PASSWORD cd \mydir get myfile mylib/myfile quit wawrzaszeka@AUSTEEL.com on 01/10/2000 03:11:12 PM Please respond to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com@Internet To: MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com@Internet cc: Fax to: Subject: RE: RUNRMTCMD When you say to write the script on the 400- do you mean write a cl? I guess this sounded better to me since I do not have very much experience with doing anything in dos. I thought if I wrote a cl that passed in the 2 pos character field I want then start ftp in the cl: *************** Beginning of data ************************************* PGM PARM(&CHEMCD) DCL VAR(&CHEMCD) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(2) FTP RMTSYS('192.168.0.1') /* USER */ ???? /* PASSWORD */ ???? get networkpc\CHEMCD.TXT CHEMF ???? EXIT ENDPGM How do i supply the password or profile? Do I still need runrmtcmd? I have done ftp within bat files but then I don't know how to do paramaters, so this sounded better, but I'm still lost.

I am assuming that you can ping '192.168.0.1' from the AS/400. Can you try to execute a command that is local to the PC prior to executing a command that is off on the network ifs? Here is a sample use of RUNRMTCMD from our system: CHGVAR VAR(&CMD) VALUE('D:\PVC4XX\' *TCAT &REMOTE *TCAT '.BAT') RUNRMTCMD CMD(&CMD) + RMTLOCNAME(&CONTROLPC *IP) RMTUSER(&USER) RMTPWD(&PASSWORD) On the parameter you want... DOS batch files support positional parameters using %1, %2 -Sample command- mypgm.bat myfile.txt -mypgm.bat- type %1 As to actually embedding the name of the file into your ftp script perhaps a simple basic program. Or, if you're like me and prefer to code on the 400, then write the FTP script on the 400 and have the PC do a get of the script file and then use this script file to send up. wawrzaszeka@AUSTEEL.com on 01/10/2000 11:31:22 AM Please respond to MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com@Internet To: midrange-L@midrange.com@Internet cc: Fax to: Subject: RUNRMTCMD I am trying to use runrmtcmd for a file transfer. What I am trying to accomplish is this - We have a computer ALL DOS software that collects data during testing of material and stores it in txt files. I want to from an AS/400 program, when a command key is pressed to pull in this data from the text file. I set up the command as follows: RUNRMTCMD CMD('\\austeel.austeel.com\home\chem.bat') RMTLOCNAME('192.168.0.1' *IP) RMTUSER(WAWRZASZEK) RMTPWD() chem.bat : ftp -s:\\austeel.austeel.com\home\spectrom\code.txt exit code.txt: open 192.168.0.1 keybank keybank put c:\spectrom\aa.txt austeellib/chemf.chemf quit \\austeel.austeel.com is out network ifs, I am using this for testing purposes, as I have not wanted to mess with the files on the other maching yet. however that also will have a network address \\aubmeltshop\spectromer1\bairdas *...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7 String '\\AUSTEEL.' contains a character that is not valid. Error found on *N command. This is the error I keep getting, so what am I doing wrong??? My ultimate goal is to beable to send a parameter into the bat file to determine which file to send back. Meaning if the user is on an AA code to grab the aa.txt file, if on an BB code grab the bb.txt file. Is there a way to sent this type of parm? Any/all help on these 2 questions/problems would be great!
