Re: Launch a URL from RPGLE

Here is some code where I did this to try out various commands  in RPGLE

 * Start PC Organizer if not started.
C                   eval      wCmdString = 'STRPCO PCTA(*NO)'
C                   callp(e)  QCmdExc(wCmdString:
C                              %len(%trim(wCmdString)) )
 * Establish the command to perform.
C                   select
C                   when      PB2 = 1
C                   eval      wCommand =
C                               'start http://www.daffron.com'
C                   when      PB2 = 2
C                   eval      wCommand =
C                               'notepad.exe'
C                   when      PB2 = 3
C                   eval      wCommand =
C                               'excel.exe'
C                   when      PB2 = 4
C                   eval      wCommand = 'start soffice -pt AFP '
C                              '"C:\Documents and Settings\Booth\'
C                              + 'Desktop\Daffron\'
C                              + 'Example1.jpg"'
C                   endsl
 * Run the command from the screen.
C                   eval      wCmdString = 'strpccmd pccmd('''
C                               + %trim(wCommand)
C                               + ''') pause(*NO)'
C                   callp     QCmdExc(wCmdString:
C                              %len(%trim(wCmdString)) )

I am attempting to launch the web browser and go to a specific URL from within 
a RPGLE program.
The application will always be connected via iSeries Access.

I tried to use STRPCO and STRPCCMD, but it did not launch. The command I used was STRPCCMD 'http://www.google.com' pause(*no).

I saw a window pop up briefly, then it just went away.
What is the correct method for doing this?

Thanks,
