RE: Html from AS/400

Thanks Scott.

It would be nice to use a remote command and I did try this command
RUNRMTCMD - but keep getting "A remote host refused an attempted connect
operation.", even for a simple opening a notepad. Then there is a user
ip address to be figured out. 

Thanks,
Sudha

No.  STRPCCMD is iSeries Access only as far as I know.  There are 
alternative PC servers for RUNRMTCMD (which uses the REXEC protocol), so

you could use that as an alternative if you want to keep doing things
this 
way.  This also has the advantage that it works with other computer 
systems.  You can submit a remote commands from/to other Windows
machines, 
Linux machines, etc in addition to submitting them from the iSeries.

However, if your goal is to create web pages in RPG and display them in
a 
browser, wouldn't CGI make a lot more sense than running a remote
command?

With CGI, you configure a library on your system as being accessible
from 
the web server. Then, you do something like 
http://iseries.example.com/library/myrpgpgm.pgm and the web server runs 
your RPG program.  Whatever your program writes out gets displayed in
the 
browser automatically.

That just seems like a better alternative to me.  Maybe I'm crazy.
