Would your comments on this be affected by the fact that the java program starts by first requiring an iSeries signon, and only then will commands be accepted?
Okay, so it's signing on to the iSeries, and then using that connection to access the data queue. That would make it pretty much the same (security-wise) as the STRPCCMD method.
Again, the only problem is is that STRPCCMD requires Client Access, right?
No. It doesn't.It requires any 5250 emulator that supports it. MochaSoft, RUMBA, and iSeries Access are some of the ones that I've used that DO support it. On the other hand, the open source TN5250 doesn't. I've been told that Reflection also doesn't support it, though I haven't tried it first hand.
A bigger problem with STRPCCMD is that it's limited to 123 characters for the command.
Sounds like the Java one offers the same level of security as STRPCCMD, and doesn't have the emulator compatibilty or command length issue. Maybe that's the best of both worlds for you.
