Re: RUNRMTCMD -- MIDRANGE-L

Mike, this won't work as is because parameters are passed with pointers. Besides, you are not passing the parameters to a CALL, you are passing a command string that is interpreted on the remote system. The pointers on the remote system have nothing to do with those on the local one.

Usually, as Don said, you need an external mechanism to pass data between systems. However, you might still be able to make this work without setting up things like data queues or message queues or whatever. According to the help for RUNRMTCMD, "When the command is sent to the remote system, the local system waits for the command to complete and the output from the remote command will be placed in a spooled file." You could have your remote program put anything into a spooled file, then extract them on the local machine.

Maybe?

I need to run an RPG program on a remote 400 from a source 400.  I also need
to pass parameters for the call and have parameters returned.  I have
researched the RUNRMTCMD command in the archives, but all of the past
messages seem to revolve around PC remote calls.

Here is my situation:
I have a process that runs on my source 400.  If the process fails, it needs
to run a program on the remote 400 that will run a different process.  The
end message depends on the success or failure of the processes.  I need to
pass parameters and receive parameters on the remote call.
