When user hits a configured product, we want to launch a URL on the user's PC, pointing to a web based application hosted in-house but not on the iSeries.
midrange.com
You can do that with
STRPCO
STRPCCMD CMD('start http://www.example.com')
In my opinion, it's really awkward. But, I'll open a browser window on
the PC that points to the site...
Users configure the product in this web based application and when they finish it updates the item master on the iSeries (this update handled by ODBC) and passes back a part number to the order entry program.
[SNIP]
IBM is telling us that RPGLE can launch the URL, but that the program will not wait for a parameter to be passed back. Is there an elegant way to launch the browser and wait for a parameter to be sent back? We're using stored procedures to go from the web based application to the iSeries and return results back to the web based application. In this case we want the opposite.
Why not have a stored procedure that writes the part number to a data queue? Have the green screen RPG program wait for the data queue entry. That seems like an easy solution.
