Re: RUNRMTCMD

But I will keep that in mind if that requirement changes.

Thomas,

The problem with STRPCCMD is that it invokes the program on the user's PC
only. If your intent is to have one PC that this program is installed on,
to be used by everyone on the floor, then this IS a batch system and it will
not work as you expect with STRPCO and STRPCCMD.

The only way to make this work with STRPCO and STRPCCMD is if the Batch &
Print Pro software is installed on the network and each PC in the office has
access to run it.  But then it becomes difficult to ensure that it prints to
the correct device, since each user may have different printers defined.....
All in all, REXEC seems to be the champ for this project.

Actually the batch and print refers to how it is printing.  It is
batching them up.  It isn't running in batch mode.

And in this testing phase the pdf are stored locally.

So you are using the Batch & Print Pro software to do the printing?

I assume that it runs in batch, meaning that it doesn't have a GUI

interface

that starts when you run it from a Windows command line?

Where are the PDFs stored? If on the network, by default the Incoming
Remote Command service runs as the local system account and thus doesn't
have access to the network.

You need to either
1) Change the service so it runs as a specified user with privileges to

the

network
and/or
2) run the job from a batch file that logs onto the network

What I am attempting to do is have an RPG program issue commands to a PC to print PDF documents (product information sheets) from that PC. There is a standalone program called Batch & Print Pro which will do this for us.

The idea is that a user from a green screen will bring up an order which will show which items are to be packed and how many of those items. They can then just request that the appropriate product sheets print out.
