Re: STRPCCMD and CPD0074

Hi Scott, thanks for the info.

Rob said to put the command(s) in a batch file but how is that done? What would the syntax look like? Currently, we use this code;

STRPCCMD PCCMD('"C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER\IEXPLORE.EXE"' *BCAT &LINK) PAUSE(*NO)

So, would the .bat be the PCCMD?

Also, what would the other approach be?

Thanks, Frank

Hi Frank,
Changing this would break backward compatibility with 5250 emulators. If
ou changed it, you'd have to find every single 5250 emulator on the
arket (not just PC5250 from IBM i access, but all vendors) so I doubt
BM will ever do it.
My approach has been to determine the largest command length I'll need
eforehand, and only use STRPCCMD for things where a short command
tring is acceptable.
IF I need longer strings, I'll take another approach.

Hi Folks, I'm getting msg CPD0074 which says PCCMD exceeds 123 characters in
ength. Has anything changed on the i to allow us to extend/increase the 123
ength? Will future releases increase the 123 limit? When CPD0074 happens what
o you folks do?
Thanks, Frank
