Kevin, Try STRPCO STRPCCMD PCCMD('start iexplore.exe "http://www.midrange.com"') PAUSE(*NO) Eric DeLong Sally Beauty Company MIS-Project Manager (BSG) 940-898-7863 or ext. 1863 -----Original Message----- From: Brunk, Kevin [mailto:KBrunk@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, April 09, 2003 3:21 PM To: midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Roll, Jaymi Subject: RE: Running tasks on a PC. I'm trying to figure out how to start a task on a PC. Here's the application scenario we'd like to support: The user performs selects a menu option on the AS/400 (green screen under Client Access), and on the resulting green screen panel, presses a function key. When the function key is pressed, we'd like to cause MS Internet Explorer to start and navigate to a certain URL.(i.e. like "IEXPLORE.EXE http://www.midrange.com"). We'd like the URL to be variable depending upon the user. I tried using STRPCO, STRPCCMD and it didn't work. Part of the reason was because I couldn't specify the path "c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer" ... because that's not a valid DOS path? I'm also concerned about relying on PCO because I'm not sure it's a command with much of a future...if DOS doesn't have much of a future! I've read information about RUNRMTCMD but the problem is that I want to execute the command on the PC that the green screen is running on and I'm not sure I'll know the IP address of that PC. Can anyone offer guidance? ==Kevin Brunk The Butler Company 5600 Blazer Parkway Dublin, OH 43017-7545 TEL: 614-659-1666 FAX: 614-659-1667 _______________________________________________ This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/midrange-l or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l.
