Re: Strpccmd

Kiran,
The reason it does not work in Mocha is that the Mocha product is just a TN5250 emulator.
The IBM iSeries Access program is more than just a green screen TN5250 emulator.
It has servers that allow other access between the i and the PC.
The STRPCO command uses one of those servers to execute a command on the PC that is attached to the 5250 Emulator Session.

Subject: Strpccmd

We use the following stcpccmd to invoke a browser based application
using Strpccmd in Firefox browser


CHGVAR VAR(&CMD) VALUE('%windir%\system32\cmd.exe +
/c start firefox' *BCAT &URL)

The &URL we get as a parameter is the actual URL of the application.

We use client access in production and mocha in development environment.

The above command executes well in Client Access, but not Mocha. We
could not determine as why it does not works in mocha. We noticed that
location of windows directory is different for some users. Due to this
we do not give the absolute location of windows directory. Instead we
use wild card character "%" to locate the windows directory.
