Initially, we wanted to open a browser window to a web page (which we
were able to do thanks to the code that Booth provided in a prior
response). The web page is actually a log-in screen on a server inside
our firewall, where we are storing PDF's of customer bills (using a
product called COVUS Presenter).
Eventually, I would like to pass the userid & password parameters to the
page, so the user is automatically logged into the page, and a customer
account number to enable the user to access the customer's billing
information automatically.

Subject: Re: Calling a URL from RPG
In your mind, when you "call a URL" what happens? The problem with your
question is that "call a URL" can be interpreted many different ways.
Are you looking to view a web page on the user's screen?
Or download a web page to the IFS, so that your program can try to
interpret it's contents?
Or download something else from an HTTP server?
Or upload something to an HTTP server?
Or call a program on an HTTP server and pass data to/from that program?
(e.g. a web service)

an
API that would do this? Or would STRPCCMD be better suited to this
type
of functionality?
