RE: Opening PC docs thru AS/400

["Chevalier, Rick" <Rick.Chevalier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Vern,

Are you saying this would replace the STRPCO and STRPCCMD commands?  If so,
do you know of a way to dynamically get the IP address of the PC running the
Client Access session?

Sure, Vikas, you can do this. You need a remote execution "server" on the 
PC. You have one with Client Access, called Incoming Remote Command. NT and 
above have rexecd, as do most Unix-like systems. Then you execute RUNRMTCMD 
on the 400, passing the command string, the IP address, connection type, 
user ID, and password. You will have needed to set up Incoming Remote 
Command, which you do in Client Access Properties. And the server must be 
running on the PC.
