Dan,
Couple of things. First, CHKOBJ may be problematic against 36 "commands." As you probably know, these are really source members, not objects, that reside in the QS36PRC source physical file. I just ran a test of CHKOBJ using *LIBL and, if the procedure/command (which does exist in the library) is not in the first source PF, CHKOBJ returns a 'not found' error. So you will have to know the specific library or, as in my test, use *CURLIB if the procedure is supposed to be there.
Second, are these really always going to be *CMD objects or might they be CL *PGM objects from time-to-time?

Subject: 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!
Dan

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!
