Another option would be to build the document and then have it emailed to
the user using the SNDM command. I'm doing that with a couple of
applications I've built.

Yes.

You'd have to write the text to a plain ascii text file or an RTF file.
Word can read a lot of file formats, so plain text may be your easiest
choice.
RTF isn't hard, just stupid!

Then you'd launch WORD and pass as its parameter the name of the file you
want
to open. So if its on your IFS, you'd have to pass the mapped drive letter,
and
path for the text file.

Subject: RPG and Word ?

Hi everyone,

We have an application that manages the courrier that is sent to our
clients.
The text of each courrier is typed in a green screen and saved in a file
for
later edition.
Now the boss has discovered the command STRPCO and that instead of showing
a
green screen for typing text, we can open a Word document.

Is there any way that, when Word opens, the necessary client information (
name,
address, etc ) can be first written to the document from the RPG
application?

TIA
