RE: I can't get strcode to work.

Vernon,

 

Assuming the ip address is the address of the remote w/s (not the local w/s) and that the TCP/IP Connections was run on the remote w/s, there might be a firewall or filtering on the AS/400 blocking you.

 

If you can't ping the AS/400, the latter is probably the case.

Subject: I can't get strcode to work.

When I run the strcode command from a remote workstation, it won’t connect.  If I run it locally, it does connect. 

 

They are on v4r4m0.

 

I get the following error message:

Message ID . . . . . . :   EVF4101                                         

Date sent  . . . . . . :   09/11/00      Time sent  . . . . . . :   14:41:41

                                                                            

Message . . . . :   Default information for STRCODE not found.             

                                                                           

Recovery  . . . :   Run the STRCODE command again and specify all required 

  parameters without using any previous (*PRV) values.                     

 

The only *PRV value I’m using is the Port#.  Here is my command string:

STRCODE    SERVER(HMTEST) RMTLOCNAME(216.228.183.236) CMNTYPE(*TCPIP) which is my IP Address.

 

Any thoughts on how I can check to see what’s blocking it?  Or how to find out what Port# I’m supposed to be using?
