This is how we did it:
/*****************************************************************************/
/*  Launch Browser Window                                                    */
/*****************************************************************************/
/*  Maximum Length of the PC Command is 123 characters.  Therefore, the      */
/*  maximum lemgth of the URL passed to this program is 108 characters       */
/*  since 'start http:"//"' uses up 15 of the 123 characters.                */
/*****************************************************************************/
             PGM
             DCL        VAR(&URL) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(108) +
                          VALUE('WWW.DHFSWIR.ORG')
             DCL        VAR(&PCCMD) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(123)
 
             MONMSG     MSGID(CPF0000 MCH0000)
 
             STRPCO
             MONMSG     MSGID(IWS4010)
 
             CHGVAR     VAR(&PCCMD) VALUE('start http:"//' *TCAT &URL *TCAT '"')
             STRPCCMD   PCCMD(&PCCMD) PAUSE(*NO)
             ENDPGM
