Re: Open PDF on Android -- MIDRANGE-L

As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

My first question is: How is Android connecting to IBM i? Second question is STRPCCMD needs to be on the device, ordinarily a windows system, is it installed? If my understanding is correct, it cannot be loaded into Android. Please correct me if recent iterations allow that, but I somehow doubt it.

That is of course ignoring the rather massive security issues that come along with that scheme.

Hello

We are using the STRPCCMD command to display a PDF from a network folder when a function key is pressed (RPGLE program).
Is there a trick to display the same PDF when running the 5250 emulator on android?

Thanks.
