Re: Questions on "Calling PC Commands from RPG" article

Ok, mea culpa. 12-hour days twice this week don't look good on me. Couple
that with a dealership that can't fix what should be a simple problem with a
liftgate FOUR TIMES and counting now... yeah, maybe I should have slept on
that last one before sending it. So, I apologize for my gruffness.
Hopefully, today will be a better day.

I will respond to your last post inline:

No. I'm still interested. I've brought up the iSeries Access for Windows
Properties (V5R2M0 SI16915). There is a tab for Incoming Remote Command;
there are three options for command mode: Normal, New console, Detached. New
console was the selected option when I brought it up. There are four
security options checkboxes: Run as system, Cache security, Allow generic
security, Generic security runs command as logged-on user. In my search
yesterday, I came across something that described this tab in totally
different terms, but I think it was for Client Access Express.

Again, my apologies. In my tiredness, I misinterpreted this as "a waste of
time" thing.

In frustration (again), my intended statement leaves a lot to be desired.
Basically, I am happy to accept help, but I am also happy to be directed to
sources that save other listers from having to provide all the details in
response. I am a firm believer in RTFM, but there are so many M's out there,
and finding the right one(s) can be elusive and time-consuming. Yesterday, I
must have chased down 20 or 30 links related to this discussion.

Scott, I appreciate all that you (and many others!) do to share your
expertise with the community.
