Thanks, I will try that.
Do you know if ShellExec runs any faster or slower then STRPCCMD?
Thanks again
John

Try invoking it via ShellExec. Something like this should work:
CHGVAR VAR(&CMD) +
VALUE('rundll32 shell32,ShellExec_RunDLL +
"\\192.168.2.60\ACCT\P&L 10-16-2009.PDF"' )
STRPCCMD PCCMD(&CMD) PAUSE(*NO)

We have been using STRPCCMD to display PDF files in the IFS. Works great.
Just had a user create a PDF file that contained an & in the PDF file
(P&L statement.PDF)
When using STRPCPCM to display this file we get an error. It appears the
STRPCCMD is stopping at the & character
STRPCCMD PCCMD('"\\192.168.2.60\ACCT\P&L 10-16-2009.PDF"') PAUSE(*NO)
Generates an error:
'L' is not recognized as an internal or external command
If I rename the file by changing the P&L to PNL everything works fine
I tried enclosing the & in quotes and that did not help
Any ideas?
Thanks
John
