If you don't want to use STRPCCMD, then you can use the Retrieve Device Description Information (QDCRDEVD) api. Get the ip address of the 5250 session and then use RUNRMTCMD.
RUNRMTCMD is even better than STRPCCMD. There's a much smaller limit on the commands you can run, it doesn't require an open emulation session, and it's more of a standard.
However, the need to run an incoming remote command service makes it much more complicated to set up. Plus, you either have to leave it wide-open for anyone to run any command on your computer, or you have to somehow provide a userid/password when you run RUNRMTCMD, making the programming on the iSeries side much more complicated too.
STRPCCMD doesn't require iSeries Access, many emulation programs support it. Granted, there are still some that dont, and that might be a deterrent (it was for me for a long time, particularly since nothing supported it on FreeBSD until I wrote my own) but it's certainly much easier.
