I've ask this before but maybe someone has found a solution recently.

Has anyone found a way to overcome the 123 character limit of the PCCMD parameter on the STRPCCMD command? Some of my URLs are longer than 123 characters.

Thanx, PLA

If you pass "http://..."; to the "start" command that should force
windows to open that document using the default handler for http.

So, STRPCCMD PCCMD('start "http://www.google.com";') PAUSE(*NO)

Should open whatever the default browser is.

STRPCO affects only the interactive job where it executes.  It uses a

special interface in the Client Access product to process commands on
the

client (not related to rexec).

To launch a site in Internet Explorer,

STRPCO

STRPCCMD PCCMD('start iexplore.exe "http://www.google.com";') PAUSE(*NO)

Hi list!

I want to be able to hit F1 and launch a specific help page that is

located in our Intranet..  I know that I can create hotspots using
Client

Access but I do not want to do it like that.  My address is very long.
I

also read about using STRPCO and using STRPCCMD.  I know I can do it
like

that, but how STRPCO works?  Once I run the command, will PC Organizer

remain active forever?  Will it be active for everybody or just for that

session?  What is activated?  I have not been successful I getting

information about this tool.

I still would like to be able to launch the HTML page without the STRPCO

command but I am not rejecting that solution.  I would like to hear some

recommended paths from the group.

Best regards and great weekend,

Peter Vidal
