RE: strpco question

     
     Rather than schedule this on the 400, I would enter it as a Scheduled 
     Task on your PC.  To see if it is enabled, check in the Services 
     dialogue box of the control panel.  It basically enables use of the AT 
     command, which allows commands or programs to be run on the PC at a 
     given time/date/interval.  You just drag & drop into the scheduler 
     what you want to run, then click on the icon once, then click on 
     properties to schedule the date/time etc.
     
     Unless, of course, you are trying to download the file as a last step 
     in the AS400 job that is creating/maintaining the file and the end 
     time of that job fluctuates.  In which case, my other suggestion would 
     be to disable the PC text assist on the command by using:      
      STRPCO PCTA(*NO)

     Subject: strpco question
     
     
     I am trying to start an Access database with the strpco and strpccmd.  
     But I keep gettin bad command  or file name.   I can  RUN this same 
     path name from the START/Run path.  This database brings down data 
     from the AS/400 to be used by access for display on the web page.  I 
     would like to automate the process of the update by running it in the 
     early a.m.
      
        CHGVAR     VAR(&CMD) +                              
                     VALUE('\\AUSTEEL.AUSTEEL.COM\HOME\+    
                     AUBURN PURCHASING\PURCH_UPDATE.MDB')   
        STRPCO                                              
        MONMSG     MSGID(IWS4010)                           
        STRPCCMD   PCCMD(&CMD) PAUSE(*NO)
