I have a situation where I need to display a webpage from within a rpg program. The idea is to simply have a command key to active this.
I've done this before, but the problem I'm running into with this webpage is length of the URL.
STRPCCMD is limited to I think 123 characters. I well past that.
I found a possible solution that looks something like this(taken from http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas125cbd3c71c3cafd0862572d700525c13)
STRPCCMD PCCMD('del c:\temp\url.bat')
STRPCCMD PCCMD('cmd /c echo set first=http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/topic/cl/strpccmd.htm? > c:\temp\url.bat')
STRPCCMD PCCMD('cmd /c echo set last=resultof=%22%73%74%72%70%63%63%6d%64%22%20 >> c:\temp\url.bat')
STRPCCMD PCCMD('cmd /c echo "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" %first%%last% >> c:\temp\url.bat')
STRPCCMD PCCMD('start c:\temp\url.bat')


I thought this would be the answer, but apparently there is an issue here also. When I try to 'set last' with this
cmd /c echo set last=?Action=login&UserName=mike

It doesn't like the &UserName. There are actually more parameters in this string, I just included the first 2.

Can anyone suggest a way around this or another method to display the webpage when the URL is long?

Thanks

Mike
