Calling windows app from rpg

We have a third party software package that updates some of our db2 files, I
am wondering if it is possible to execute that app (windows app) from within
an rpg program..?

 

If so, would someone be kind enough to point me in the correct direction? I
have searched google for remote execution as/400 and rpgle with no success..
