Re: Calling External program

Yes it is possible.  Would it be done using the CALL op code?  No.

There are several possibilities.

1 - Use a data queue(s).  Your RPGLE program could put an entry in the 
queue and then the other program could handle it and reply back to that 
queue or a different queue (if you wanted to separate input and output).

2 - Via RUNRMTCMD and the remote system using the rexec service available 
from iSeries Access to execute a remote command back on the i5.

3 - Use RPGLE to call a java program to use JDBC to call the application 
on your XT as a stored procedure.

4 - Set up sockets to handle this.
