RE: Launch a URL from RPGLE

Use the STRPCO/STRPCCMD duo, but use the START command to launch the browser....

STRPCO
STRPCCMD PCCMD('START http://www.google.com')

Subject: Launch a URL from RPGLE


I am attempting to launch the web browser and go to a specific URL from within 
a RPGLE program.
The application will always be connected via iSeries Access.
I tried to use STRPCO and STRPCCMD, but it did not launch.  
The command I used was STRPCCMD 'http://www.google.com' pause(*no).
I saw a window pop up briefly, then it just went away.
What is the correct method for doing this?
 
 
Thanks,
