Scott, I've had thoughts on a conceptual level about either calling an rpg program from java, or performing a direct update to as file on the as/400 from java. Yet to investigate that route .
Regarding your other suggestion about calling a cgi .. I'm not sure I understand. The button is on the Google Maps website, not anything I've written. It just sends the url of the Google maps page (with the location I'm looking at) to the clipboard. Are you suggesting I hijack the button somehow?
FYI Roger, I looked at USPS, but it returns very basic info. No gps. Mapquest may be an alternative. I've also used Yahoo in the past. Thanks for the suggestion.

David,
You have a button on the website to 'copy link address' - could that
call a cgi program on the i and send the address that way instead of
going through the clipboard? Or maybe your existing java program can
write directly to the i.
Just a thought.
Scott

Thanks Roger,
I'll check it out. If that works, it could be useful in a other
application I'm using.
Regardless of which API(s) I end up using I anticipate my original issue
of having to eyeball some locations will remain.
If anyone has any experience with manipulating/retrieving the clipboard
from RPG/ Java/ (??) on the iSeries , I'd really appreciate any input.
Thanks again,
-David.
