Re: Emulating STRPCCMD

Vern,

The thing is, I need to be able to get this to work exactly the same as
STRPCCMD. Basically, I can't touch the program code, so I need to have a
command called STRPCCMD (in a library higher than QSYS, obviously) which
will do the *exact* same thing as STRPCCMD...

Commercial solutions are not an option, sadly.

If you are open to a commercial offering, we have the Office Integrator
product that can be used to run commands on a PC from the command line
of the i. An app on the PC has to be run to receive the requests - there
is an enhancement that will work slightly differently, on its way pretty
soon.

Call 888.rjs.soft toll-free or email me or Richard, who is also on these
lists - or email sales.rjssoftware.com

All,

Does anyone know of a way that I can emulate the behavior of STRPCCMD?

I know that STRPCCMD sends a 'hidden' screen to the emulator that

contains

some control characters, followed by the actual command to be run, and

the

emulator then executes that command.

I have access to the 5250 data-stream but my 'emulator' (actually a
data-stream parser which displays the screen in the browser) is not able

to

run STRPCCMD. I would like to be able to 'recognize' the hidden screen
(easy) and then invoke some processing to execute the same functionality

as

is executed by STRPCCMD. Is this possible, perhaps using a socket to run

a

command on the PC?

I've posted this in the RPG400-l list as the software will most likely be
written using RPG...

Thanks,

Rory
