Hi!

I want to call a program on a remote server. The remote call looks like
this:

CALL MY_PROGRAM PARM(PARM1 PARM2 PARM3 PARM4)

The three first paramters are passed with a value and the last one is blank.
So I want this CALL to be executed on the remote machine I want to receive
the PARM4 value back on my local machine...

What is the simplest way to do so?

Thanks in advance for your answers

Charles
