Matt I don't believe you get any response data from STRPCCMD do you ?
We have customers doing this using our iSeries Office Integrator product where they can call a program and receive response data back from the command call.
If you can't purchase a product to help, I would recommend a REST approach over calling an EXE directly as I described in my other post.

tocall a .Net program on a windows server?
Yes you can pass parameters to a .exe, we do that today at our shop to bridge the gap between 5250 sessions and web applications. The .exe just needs to support the input of parameters (which is easy to do in Main() part of the .NET exe).
Example .NET program with input parameters:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
if (args.Length != 0)
{
foreach (string s in args)
{
if (s.ToUpper().Contains("/K="))
{
// do something with the K switch
}
if (s.ToUpper().Contains("/P="))
{
// do something with the P Switch
}
}
}
On the AS400 side of things it looks like this:
D IECMD C 'STRPCCMD PCCMD(''\\server\-
D myexe.exe \ARRTLaunch /K=CallLog /P=-
D '
D IEEND S 3 INZ(''')')

Yea, I'm already using the RUNRMTCMD to do a tax update procedure right now. But I'm not passing any parameters for that. Its just a batch type process that runs. I'd like to do something similar but be able to pass a parameter or list of parameters to the executable... not sure if that is possible using RUNMRMTCMD (I know that executables can use args from command lines, but not sure if this can be done from that command... will look at it more..)
Thank You
