RE: Oh No... How do I run commands in S36 environment?

Hi Scott,

Hope you are well, Sorry I missed you in Boulder this year... Thanks
for your reply.

I am wondering about Rich's idea of using a PROC..: It seems like it may
work, as long as I know if the command is CL or S36. (I guess I can
CHKOBJ *CMD to find out.)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's Rich's note...

Thinking this through a little further, you could create a generic S36
OCL
procedure that could be called to run any OCL command. It would look
like
this:

// ?1? ?2?,?3?,?4?

To call it to display a menu, for example, the STRS36PRC would look
like
this:

STRS36PRC PRC(S36CMD) CURLIB(MYLIBR) PARM('MENU,MYMENU')
----------------------------------------

Scott, Do you recall what kind of command problems you had with
STRS36PRC...?

The other thing I'm looking at Scott is using CRTMSGFMNU ... It appears
that I can build a S36 menu on the fly out of message descriptions
(CRTMSGF, ADDMSGD and then CRTMSGFMNU replace(*YES). I have tried
running CL and S36 commands using this and it appears to work. But have
not fully tested it.

Thanks very much to all that have chimed in... I really appreciate your
help!

Hi Dan,

I am just trying to find a way to run a S36 command from CL or RPG
when the user has LMTCPB(*YES).

QCMDEXC only runs CL commands. QCAPCMD can run S36 commands, but not
for limited users.

FWIW, I had a project with the same requirements. I came up empty. The

STRS36PRC command won't run all S/36 commands, and QCAPCMD would work,
but only for non-limited users. It's really frustrating.

For my project, it was an "it would be nice" item, but not a "must
have", so we ended up completing the project without this support.

But, if you find an elegant solution, please let me know!
