Hi

I had a request to run a ping on the IBMi and specify the -f option to stop fragmentation.

The green screen option does not support specifying this option.

I searched and there was supposed to be an option in iNavigator but I think that referred to the old version as I could not find it.

I tries the PASE environment but got "ping not found" and system ping also does not seem to support any switches.

Hopefully I am just not looking hard enough ?

Thanks
