RE: Opening PC docs thru AS/400 -- MIDRANGE-L

Sure, Vikas, you can do this. You need a remote execution "server" on the PC. You have one with Client Access, called Incoming Remote Command. NT and above have rexecd, as do most Unix-like systems. Then you execute RUNRMTCMD on the 400, passing the command string, the IP address, connection type, user ID, and password. You will have needed to set up Incoming Remote Command, which you do in Client Access Properties. And the server must be running on the PC.

Hi all,

Eric,

Basically, its a word document that exists in a folder in the IFS. Its easy
enough to map it to windows explorer and access it. I was trying to find out
if there's any way one can open this document, from an AS/400 operation,
triggering MS Word itself, so that it is viewed through Word. If I could do
this through RPG or CL, it would be great!

Thanks and regards,
Vikas.
