RE: how to open google maps from Green Screen -- RPG400-L

You should not need to program anything like STRPCO or whatever - just put the link on the screen

I know it works with ACS 5250 Emulation ... but not necessarily with other Emulations :(
That's why I have to use STRPCCMD.

+1

You should not need to program anything like STRPCO or whatever - just put the link on the screen, set up the emulator to make it a hotspot, then people can just click on it - it just works.

Like Ron said!

Subject: how to open google maps from Green Screen

Hi,

can someone help me out?

My customer wants to open from a Green Screen Program Google maps for a specific address.
Building the URL for opening google maps is not the problem, ... but how to open it from a green screen.

I know there are the CL commands STRPCO and STRPCCMD, but how must the command look like, so I can open a website?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
