Can you open a pdf in Excel?
Are all versions of PDF openable in Excel?

Another view same issue:

You do not need to use the "Rundll32 shell32,ShellExec_RunDLL" prefix

Just pass the path+file name and the user's Windows OS will open the file
alright.

STRPCCMD PCCMD('"\\192.168.0.100\PDF\MYFLR\MYDOC_1141521.pdf")
PAUSE(*NO)').

Obviously the problem is that Windows didn't keep the login information.? It
doesn't remember it permanently (unless you tell it to.)

You can use the "net use" PC command to set the Windows login information.?
You can use that from your script to make sure it's ready to launch the Xls
(or PDF, which appears to be what you're actually trying to launch).

Hi all

STRPCCMD PCCMD('rundll32 shell32,ShellExec_RunDLL
"\\192.168.0.100\PDF\MYFLR\MYDOC_1141521.pdf") PAUSE(*NO)'). Yesterday
i tested my program and it was ok; today i have retried and

It don't works (i don't know why), then after some test, i have
opened

the

folder from windows explorer. Windows have asked AS400's user and

password

and then showed the folder with MYDOC_1141521.pdf. After that i have

retried

to run my program and now the STRPCCMD PCCMD('rundll32

shell32,ShellExec..

works fine and open the document.

Questions:

1. Which could the problem ?

2. Possible that until i don't open MYFLR via windows, STRPCCMD
PCCMD('rundll32 shell32,ShellExec.. Don't works

3. Which workaround ?

Thanks in advance

Gio
