i use rumba. to start another rumba session i would use: strpccmd pccmd('"C:\Program Files\WallData\as400\Rumbawsf.exe" develop.wda') pause(*no) i'd try a cut & paste from the shortcut tab of the properties portion of the icon on your desktop (right click on the icon, select properties from the menu). it might work, because the desktop shortcut should be executing a program object, even if it is not EXE. I've used the command on the 400 to start BAT files on my PC. jw ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Re: Re[2]: Interesting Question!!

Does anybody know which EXE file it is???. (i did look at the shortcut properties on my desktop but its not an executable file) Please advice. Thanks. Gade.

Urgent We don't use CA, but I have called PC apps from the 400 by using the Client Access Organizer (*PCO). CAO has been available for the AS/400 from the first version of OS/400, BW (Before Windows) and when 5250 emulation programs only worked with DOS. Caveats: · You cannot execute the Organizer from a non-programable work station · The product will be started from the PC where the command is being executed from. · You do not need any special configuration of the PC. · Not all emulation programs support the Organizer functions. To see if your 5250 emulation program supports CAO, runs the following commands on a 400 session (assuming that the Windows calculator is installed on the Pc in the Windows dir): STRPCO PCTA(*NO). STRPCCMD PCCMD('C:\WINDOWS\CALC.EXE') PAUSE(*NO) If the Windows Calculator has been opened in your PC, and you can continue working in your AS/400 normally, then your emulation correctly supports the functions of CAO. If on the other hand, the calculator does not open, or the 400 session has been disconnected or the 400 session won't allow you to enter commands, then that means that your emulation does not support the functions of CAO. You can use any executable program in lieu of C:\WINDOWS\CALC.EXE Enjoy JW ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Re: Interesting Question!! Urgent Author: Jim Langston <jlangston@conexfreight.com> at Internet Date: 06/09/2000 10:20 AM I think it might be possible, if it is possible to call a PC program from the AS/400. I know that you can call an AS/400 from a PC with client access, if the reverse is true, it should be very doable. That is, when the user presses F2 you would have the AS/400 call a program on the client's PC. That program on the PC, a batch file say, would open up a client access client to the appropriate AS/400. I think the only difficulty would be the automatic sign on. If you can figure out some way to get client access to automatcially sign on when opened, it should be no problem. You would just set up a program to call in the users sign on. So, there seem to be 2 missing pieces of the puzzle. 1. Calling a PC program from teh AS/400 2. Automatically signing on to the AS/400 from client access.
