RE: I can't get strcode to work. -- CODE400-L

I’m pretty sure my client access session is using port 23 (according to its configuration screen). So hopefully they can allow access to port 4200 and it will be fine.

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.

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?
