Can anyone provide a sample program (or point me to one), preferably written

return it to the caller but Hello World would get me started.

This isn't 100% what you were asking for ... but I was able to invoke the DSPLIBL command on the host using a SSH command line...

$ ssh myuser@hostname 'system dsplibl'
myuser@hostname's password:

As an alternative, if you're willing to look at Java code, you could get the jsch library (a pure java SSH implementation) and use that to invoke commands on the host. You _should_ be able to capture the results.
