Re: calling RPG programs

[Tom Heiber-Cobb <heibercobb@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ketan,
        Don't know if this will help but I might suggest looking up information
about doing what is referred to as distributed program call. One place you
can look for an example is in the redbook titled "Accessing the AS/400
System with JAVA". The number of that publication is SG24-2152. It explains
how to call an RPG program from within a Java program. Chapter 3 discusses
the AS/400 Toolbox for Java which are a set of classes that you'll need to
accomplish your goal. Most of the examples are shown using standalone Java
programs but I think you can extract them out to your specific situation.
        A more immediate source of info might be the following URL:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pubs/html/as400/ic2924/info/java/rzahh/toolbox
.htm

This brings up a page on AS/400 Java information. In the left frame, click
on the link labled "Access classes", in the resulting page on the right
frame, arrow down and look for the link that says "Program call".

Hope this is some help
        Tom H-C
