Hi Jerry,

I had similar troubles and it turned out to be an issue with an extra spaceAFTER FileProtocolHandler. The extra space would cause the program to runfor a few seconds then do nothing.


Look at these two sources:
PGM        PARM(&PKG)

DCL        VAR(&PKG) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(18)
DCL        VAR(&CMD) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(255)

STRPCO
MONMSG     MSGID(IWS4010)

/* TWO spaces after FileProtocolHandler */
CHGVAR     VAR(&CMD) VALUE('rundll32 +
             url,FileProtocolHandler  +
             http://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/processI+
             nputRequest?&tracknum=' *CAT &PKG)

STRPCCMD PCCMD(&CMD) PAUSE(*NO)

ENDPGM

STRPCCMD PCCMD(&CMD) PAUSE(*NO)

ENDPGM

The version with ONE space works fine. The version with TWO does nothingafter a short delay.


Maybe this was your issue?
