RE: STRCODE automation

["Sneddon, Jim" <JSneddon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't think you can get away with not signing on to the AS400 but this is
what I do to simplify the process....

I have an initial CL program to call in my user profile which issues the
STRCODE command based on which Device ID I'm signing on to.  Whenever I
start this particular session and enter my username and password, STRCODE
fires up.  

You could even record a client access macro to enter the user name and
password but that kind of defeats the purpose of security in the first
place....  although if all it does is run STRCODE there isn't much that your
_average_ user that happened to get into your PC could do.
