RE: Calling a URL from RPG

["Craig Jacobsen" <CraigJacobsen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not really much to understand.
Here is an example:
STRPCCMD   PCCMD('start +                                 
             http://www.globalshipping.fedex.com/sli/ind+ 
             ex.asp?pwd=password&+                    
             userid=user@xxxxxxxx') PAUSE(*NO)     

If you execute the CLP everthing from the & on will be truncated (in this
case the user).
