RE: Using STRPCCMD from Bosanova emulation

STRPCO and STRPCCMD works also with other emulators, Mochasoft, Host On Demand etc.

AFAIK STRPCO and STRPCCMD work ONLY with Client Access - is there any
documentation that says that BosaNova will honor it?

Hello Vinay,

But on the AS400 if I give command STRPCO *no followed by STRPCCMD
PCCMD('E:104.jpg') it goes right back to the command line.

When you send a command-line like E:104.jpg, Windows tries to access
your current directory on the E: drive because you haven't specified
which directory the file is in.

It's very possible -- even likely -- that the current directory used by
the Start->run command will be different than the current directory of
the emulator session where STRPCCMD is run.

My suggestion, therefore, is that you include the directory name as part
of the command. For example:

STRPCCMD PCCMD(E:\SOMEDIR\104.jpg')

This tells it to look in the \SOMEDIR folder on the E: drive. Change
'SOMEDIR' to the appropriate directory where the 104.jpg file is kept.

Good luck
