Re: RUNRMTCMD

[Thomas Hauber <thauber@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The defaults are in place on the Client Access Properties, Incoming 
Remote Command.

I think I am going to take Charles's advices and use the STRPCO/STRPCCMD 
commands.  With these I have been able to run my test programs.  Since 
RUNRMTCMD seems to be mainly for batch command I am probably better off 
not using it.

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions and help.
