Re: command string to long for STRPCCMD PCCMD()

Hi Booth,

I opened a DOS command window on my Win10 PC and entered

C:\Users\Peter>start

https://samples.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/group?id=524901,703448,2643743&units=metric&appid=b6907d289e10d714a6e88b30761fae22
'units' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
'appid' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

However, it opened up my web browser (Google Chrome) with the address
bar showing
"
https://samples.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/group?id=524901,703448,2643743";

and the display area showing

{"cod":401, "message": "Invalid API key. Please see
http://openweathermap.org/faq#error401 for more info."}


It looks to me like you need to somehow escape the ampersands (&). I used
a caret (^) and it worked:

C:\Users\Peter>start
https://samples.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/group?id=524901,703448,2643743
^&units=metric^&appid=b6907d289e10d714a6e88b30761fae22

error is:

Interesting. Any chance you could post your CL/RPG/whatever program
calling QCMDEXC?
