RE: Opening PC docs thru AS/400

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yeah, Rick, this replaces those commands. I've not used it in a while, so 
I'm not sure about the pause or wait setting that you get with STRPCCMD, if 
that is still available - there's some kind of parameter similar to that 
but it doesn't look exactly the same.

As for the IP address, I think it'd be best to use an IP name that is in a 
DNS to which you have access - or is in the hosts table of the 400.

There IS a security issue - you have to put in a user ID and password for 
the PC. You can also have generic security, but then anyone can do anything 
on the PC - even FORMAT.

STRPCO and STRPCCMD get their connection info from the PC that is 
connected. I don't know, can you do those commands from a batch job? 
RUNRMTCMD can, so that may be the better option there.

There's a lot of info in the Express User's Guide.

Vern
