Re: Accessing drives

Can we further define your problem?  For example when you say 'I need to be
able to utilmately run
STRPCCMD' you are possibly limiting yourself.  For example if what you
really need to do is to start a program on the PC, then say so.  STRPCCMD
is a Client Access function.  And, it only works from a 5250 interactive
program initiated from that same PC.  There are other alternatives, such as
RUNRMTCMD, another Client Access solution.  However it may be ran from any
program on the 400 and communicate to any other PC, among other hardware.
Another alternative might include loading FTP server on the PC and
initiating a program from your script on the 400.  There are other
alternatives which may involve a bit more coding:  data queues and whatnot.
But in certain cases, STRPCCMD may be the easiest solution.  It's been
years since I've used it, but it's a tool in the toolbox.

Hi all,
     Does anyone know how, or even if it is possible, to access a drive
on an NT server from an RPG/CL program.  I need to be able to utilmately
run
STRPCCMD and access a file from this networked server.  Can anyone help??

Regards
Iain
