Robert,

You were perfectly clear. You are hoping to pass the directory to run the
command in to the program on the PC, right? Again, perfectly clear.

Now, read what I said about the START command again.

Sorry, I wasn't clear in my original post. The DIR command was only
used
as an initial test and it was run (and did create a spoolfile) as
expected. But the directory/folder it listed was c:\Windows\System32.

The program that I'm try to run exists in another folder and requires
the
working directory to be that folder. I have created a batch file which
issues as CD to the correct working folder and then calls the program.
This also works successfully but my boss has asked me to eliminate the
batch file if possible.

So what I'm asking is if when the RUNRMTCMD runs if the working
directory
can be set so the batch file (which sets the working directory) can be
eliminated.

I hope this is clear and sorry for the earlier confusion.

When you're using RUNRMTCMD, you generally don't want to pipe output
to a
local file as you have here, Rob. Instead let the dir command write to
stdout as usual. The REXEC service will stream the output back to the
RUNRMTCMD which will then put the output in a spool file on the IBMi.
