This stuff is cool.   BUT can I go the other way??

I want to CALL, from the AS400, a PC job (batch) and return a file to a
AS400 folder which will merge with my print routine.

> You could build the pc ftp.txt file using input from the user by putting
the ftp -n -i -s:etx... into a .bat file.  With the example below you can
put a bat file on a user's desktop and have it call the shared bat file.
The user can then then just click the icon and run the job.
