Re: moving files from PC to the IFS in green screen Application

the real problem is that we have a screen scraping application whose
emulator does not support strpco.  We can create a download to be initiated
from that screen but wanted to be able to find a general way that would
always work whether the user was on the green screen or in the applet
without having to maintain two distinct sets of code.
Steve Landess suggestion of using qntc is the closest to what I am looking
for but I am not very familiar with the workings of qntc so am a little out
of my element there.  I will research that tack furhter however...

What emulator are you using??  There are some that support STRPCO.  I would
envision the program like this

pgm
strpco
monmsg iws4010
STRPCCMD PCCMD('copy c:\temp\file.ext   \\qas400\dir\') PAUSE(*NO)
endpgm

this assumes you have the 400 shared via netserver.

Assuming I don't have client access for the strpccmd commands is there a
way to move files from a users PC to the IFS in a green screen application?
Problem is this we have an application where a user/employee fills out a
Purchase Request they have some backup documentation( ie, Quotes,
engineering charts etc) that normally flow along ith the Paper request
through an approval cycle then the requesti entered and the documentation
is filed.
My problem is this we have moved from a Paper Request to an online(
greenscreen Process) however now the backup documentation does not flow
with the request.  I am currently looking for a way to allow the user to
place these documents in the IFS. If I felt comfortable that all of the PC
were running client access I could just use strpccmd and start windows
explorer in a certain directory, then use use IFS api's to move these to a
permanent location.
Is there anyway to accomplish this task within a green screen App?
