RE: snads support

1) We do have STRPASTRH in code, I'll have to work on eliminating this.

2) One of our 3rd party packages heavily uses QDLS, this will have to stay, unfortunately.

3) What actually uses SNADS, if I shut it down, what won't work?

RNMOBJ OBJ(STRPASTHR) OBJTYPE(*CMD) NEWOBJ(STRPASTHRX) CRTPRXCMD CMD(QSYS/STRPASTHR) TGTCMD(QTCP/TELNET) strpasthr gdi Connecting to host gdi.dekko-1 at address 10.17.6.144 using port 23.

Definitely using TCP now, eh? Big clue being an IP address and 'port 23'.

Only problem being if they have STRPASTHR buried into actual code with some of the parameters defined. Like, menu option 29 does a strpasthr using such and such a virtual controller, for instance.
That's solvable, but you start delving into 'command override exit points'. Which I've actually done to convert all uses of SNDDST to SNDEMAIL.

Rob,

I'd be interested in that.

I have an open PMR with IBM, strpasthr fails intermittently, following a
SAVRSTOBJ failure.
At this point IBM can't determine if SAVRSTOBJ or EE is the culprit.

If strpasthr is the only command the 'users' are using of snads, it's
really easy to create a proxy command for telnet that uses that name.
