Hi Pat,

This is what I have been using for a few years now here. I have a command
wrapped around this that prompts for the web site. It could also be used
without the command and you just pass in a parm for the website.


PGM PARM(&SITE)

DCL VAR(&CMD) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(120)
DCL VAR(&SITE) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(30)

CHGVAR VAR(&CMD) VALUE('rundll32.exe +
url.dll,FileProtocolHandler ' *BCAT +
'http://www.' *CAT &SITE *TCAT '.com')

STRPCO PCTA(*NO)
MONMSG MSGID(IWS4010)

STRPCCMD PCCMD(&CMD) PAUSE(*NO)

ENDPGM



Thanx,

Nick

RE: Press enter to activate a link (DLee@xxxxxxxx)






Hello,

If you want the user to use their default web browser, use the following
as the initial value of &IE:

rundll32 url,FileProtocolHandler

To this you would append the web link. For instance, if I wanted our
user to hit our main web site, the entire command would be:

rundll32 url,FileProtocolHandler http://hcps.us

On the STRPCCMD you might want to include the option PAUSE(*NO).

Thanks for your replay, but the below suggestion didn't work for me.

Below is what I ended up doing: I modified the original program that
generates the web link, and passed it to this program, which actually
brought up the web page as expected.

This works in case anyone would find it usefull. With some tinkering, a
person could probably make this a nice service program.

PGM &WEBLNK
DCL VAR(&WEBLNK) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(70)
DCL VAR(&SEL) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(200)
Dcl &Quote *Char ( 1 ) Value( '"' )
DCL VAR(&SEL) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(200)

// declare the path to internet explores
DCL VAR(&IE) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(51) +
VALUE('"C:\Program Files\Internet +
Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" "') // Add quotes to
the end of the target web link
CHGVAR VAR(%SST(&WEBLNK 65 1)) VALUE(&QUOTE)
// concat the path to internet explorer to the target web page
CHGVAR VAR(&SEL) VALUE(&IE || &WEBLNK)

STRPCO
MONMSG MSGID(CPF0000 IWS4010)
STRPCCMD PCCMD(&SEL)
RCLRSC
RETURN
ENDPGM

<See if something like this might work for you:
< In your DSPF
< RTNCSRLOC(&REC &FLD)
< REC 10A H
< FLD 10A H

< In your RPG:
< select;
< when FLD = 'WSABA#'; // Enter pressed in this field < exsr
CreateWeb; < endsl;
