Re: Placing data on the clipbaord

I think i know where he was aiming with the question.
If i'm not mistaken there are some functionalities in Client Access that do
interact with the local enviroment i think i heard you could have
hyperlinks in the green screen which opened to the default webbrowser and
stuff like that. If i heard that right then you might have some way to do
it. Otherwise the macro or external program idea are the best way...

Best Regards,

"Overly literal"?!

Sorry if I was just stupid, but I thought he was asking how to do it from
his IBM i program. If that was possible, I could certainly see how it'd be
a great solution to his problem, and why he'd want to do it.

My point was very simple: He needs a program running on the PC where the
clipboard is. And I wanted to be very clear that it wasn't a limitation
of IBM i, the problem was simply that his program was running on a
different computer, so it couldn't interact with the PC's clipboard.

Why is this such a controversial thing to say? Why am I getting flak for
it?

I read the question the same way Scott did: 'Can my RPG program put data
into the Windows clipboard?' As a life long programmer, I'm
semi-trained to recognise when I'm being overly literal, so I
second-guessed myself and assumed that you really wanted to copy /
switch windows / paste; thus the Auto Hot Key suggestion.
