Re: Webfacing and import/display of images

[Todd Allen <tballen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

By "iSeries display" do you mean the green screen?
You can add a function key button to the screen and the action behind 
that button would be to launch MS Internet Explorer on the client 
PC.  Of course, this assumes you are running 5250 emulation on a PC.
The command would look something like this:

STRPCCMD PCCMD('C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\IEXPLORE path/to/image')

The STRPCO command must be run on the host system.
There is a server that must be started for this to work.  I believe 
it is the host server.

I've not done this for a while so I'm not exactly sure of the 
specifics but this should point you in the right direction.

Thanks,
Todd
