RE: Calling a program on the i via OpenSSH

This may be a case of sticking with what I know but why not make your RPG program into a SQL UDF and then any ODBC/JDBC program could connect to the IBM I and get a result?

Subject: Calling a program on the i via OpenSSH

I have no clue what I am really talking about here so please bear with me.
My end goal for this request is for a Windows server to connect to an IBM I and issue the command and receive the results without any user intervention via a "windows script".



I already have OpenSSH running on the i and I can log in with PuTTY.



Now my request.



Can anyone provide a sample program (or point me to one), preferably written in RPGLE that can be run on the iSeries from a Windows 10 PuTTY session and have it return data back to the PuTTY session? I would be OK if it just returned "Hello World". In the real world, I will need to generate data and return it to the caller but Hello World would get me started.



Just in case my request is not clear (because I don't know 100% what I am asking for), here are the steps I think I need.

1. Start PuTTY on a Windows 10 machine
2. Connect to my IBM i
3. CALL HELLOWORLD on the IBM I <-- if you can provide the correct
syntax too, that would be great
4. See "Hello World" in my PuTTY window.
