Re: What is needed for icon to start ACS 5250 session

Hey Buck

If you set the File Associations in the Tools menu of the main ACS app, you don't need to put the start-scripts stuff in the shortcut properties - just the path name of the HOD file.

Seems to me that the start-scripts are not necessarily in the same place all the time.

Cheers
Vern

Run a session.
Save it - this will create a .hod file.

Make the shortcut to the .hod file. Mine looks like
X:\Software\IBM_i_Access_Client_Solutions\Start_Scripts\Windows\acslaunch.js
C:\Users\buck\Documents\IBM\iAccessClient\Emulator\HODData\localuser\buck.hod

The X: drive is a network share.

The contents of my .hod files are all plain text; 370 lines worth.
