Re: Calling a remote program

I pass parms all the time.

It similar to building up the parms for a submit job command where you use a variable to build up the command string. I build the command in a variable, passing the variables as character ( hex is more complicated for packed decimal) and then use RUNRMTCMD passing the command variable to the remote system. You can then also monitor for messages that the system returns like you would in a CL program.

If you need results returned as a variable, you would need to return the variables in a data queue, a parameter file, data area or something similar.

Is there a reason you have not considered DDM?

DDM makes the fact that you are using 2 or more systems transparent.

Hi charlie


SQL CONNECT / CALL is very easy if you are familiar with SQL.
I have used data queues and remote data queues for years and it's very
easy and reliable. However you need a synchronization mechanism.
Web service are great but are probably a bit overkill if just exchange

of

data between IBM i lpars is concerned. (need configuration,

application

server, etc...)

I've read through the archives and determined I can use SQL CONNECT,
RUNRMTCMD or a web service. I need to pass and return parameters

between

partitions.
The remote RPG program (and all files) reside in a production LPAR, I

will

be calling from another LPAR'sprogram running in the DMZ.

We are also considering data queues.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
