Re: Calling windows app from rpg

["Michael Ryan" <michaelrtr@xxxxxxxxx>]

I create a string that looks something like this:

RUNRMTCMD  CMD('c:\sigxfr.cmd &transid') +
            RMTLOCNAME('192.168.2.107' *IP) +
            RMTUSER('rmtuser') RMTPWD('rmtpwd')

and then execute it from my RPGLE program with QCMDEXC. Works like a charm.
Of course, the IP address is dynamic 'in real life' since it's individual
clients systems that execute the sigxfr command.
