RE: How to call rpg pgm from FTP RCMD

Giri,

The system will interpret anything following the RCMD statement as a
string to be executed, so what you have written looks good.  You can add
parameters to the call by using the standard format of the CALL command.

Does your RPG program access objects such as files?  If so, how are you
determining the library list for your program?  You might have better
results by calling your RPG program from within a CL program which
establishes the environment and then calls the RPG program.
