No.  STRPCCMD is iSeries Access only as far as I know.  There are 
alternative PC servers for RUNRMTCMD (which uses the REXEC protocol), so 
you could use that as an alternative if you want to keep doing things this 
way.  This also has the advantage that it works with other computer 
systems.  You can submit a remote commands from/to other Windows machines, 
Linux machines, etc in addition to submitting them from the iSeries.

However, if your goal is to create web pages in RPG and display them in a 
browser, wouldn't CGI make a lot more sense than running a remote command?

With CGI, you configure a library on your system as being accessible from 
the web server. Then, you do something like 
http://iseries.example.com/library/myrpgpgm.pgm and the web server runs 
your RPG program.  Whatever your program writes out gets displayed in the 
browser automatically.

That just seems like a better alternative to me.  Maybe I'm crazy.
