Re: Click on an internet link from a 5250 screen (Booth Martin)

with PC Organizer started(strpco) you can, 
from command line, cl program, rpg with qcmdexc, issue command

strpccmd 'start http://www.domain.com/yada/yada.html'


we use this function here to autolaunch archived pdfs of customer bills 
driven from a green screen app.  The command below launches the FILE, 
which by default uses the associated app for the type *.pdf(adobe reader)

strpccmd 'start \\servername\YYYYMM\customernumber.pdf'
