RE: Opening File with STRPCCMD

DUH! I didn't think of that. That's exactly what I needed. It runs PERFECT now.
Thanks a billion to everyone that put up with me on this one!

cmd /c

is what tells windows to execute the command and then terminate.

you probably want PAUSE(*NO) on the very last line to prevent the 5250
session from waiting till the document is closed.

I have it working except for one little thing that's bothering me.
The last two commands of my CL program are:

  STRPCCMD PCCMD('ECHO start %MYDOC%>> C:\MYFILE.BAT')
  STRPCCMD PCCMD('C:\MYFILE.BAT')


When it gets to this line:

  STRPCCMD PCCMD('ECHO start %MYDOC%>> C:\MYFILE.BAT')

I have to hit ENTER in the dos box.

Then it gets to this line:

  STRPCCMD PCCMD('C:\MYFILE.BAT')

And I have to hit enter again in the dos box.

If I remove the STRPCCMD PCCMD('ECHO start %MYDOC%>> C:\MYFILE.BAT')
line, the file won't open.  I can't seem to figure out a work around.

I have only been sitting on the sidelines on this.

What does the MYDOC variable look like when is it complete?   Based on
what I see it should be:

(unfortunately it will wrap....)

rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler W:\Southeast
Region\Dallas\System Design and Mockup Review\Constitution Square Bldg
One\Mockup Drawings\1st Submission\080711 Constitution Square Mock-up
Progress Drawings 2of2.pdf

Are the embedded blanks causing the heartburn?  Maybe double quotes
around the path an file name?

You should be able to open a command window and copy and paste the MYDOC

string into the command window and run it (preappended with the "start"
command...)

Looks like you're missing the redirection symbols, or '>''>>'

take another look at the example I pointed you too


STRPCCMD PCCMD('cmd /c ECHO SET MYDOC=c:\documents and settings>
C:\DATA\MYFILE.BAT')
STRPCCMD PCCMD('cmd /c ECHO SET MYDOC=%MYDOC%\alexander.acctdom\my
documents>>
C:\DATA\MYFILE.BAT')
STRPCCMD PCCMD('cmd /c ECHO SET MYDOC=%MYDOC%\weekly\credit memos\acme
inc>>
C:\DATA\MYFILE.BAT')
STRPCCMD PCCMD('cmd /c ECHO SET MYDOC=%MYDOC%\memo84612.doc>>
C:\DATA\MYFILE.BAT')
STRPCCMD PCCMD('cmd /c ECHO start %MYDOC%>>  C:\DATA\MYFILE.BAT')
STRPCCMD PCCMD('C:\DATA\MYFILE.BAT')


ECHO start %MYDOC%

simply echo's the contents of the %MYDOC% environment variable to the
screen

C:\DATA\MYFILE.BAT
redirects the echo to a file, in append mode.  Note: '>' is replace.

HTH,
Charles
