This is pretty cool.
Are there any parameters you can pass that you know of? Like what
partition you want it to point to when run?

See this item from the Midrange-L archives:

The links might have new targets available by now, but the older info is mostly still useful. I know it doesn't look relevant, but try searching the page for references such as [lstjob]. At least some of the .EXEs are mentioned along with command-line parms and some parms work with multiple .EXEs.

Experimentation brings either good results or error messages that provide hints.

It'd be nice to have the parm-prompting of OS/2, but you can create different shortcut icons with different parm values or create your own wrappers.

Some of you may have followed this thread in Midrange-l but if you
missed
it I included this little bit.

This is the content of the origial thread:

While looking through a folder, I found a program in the Client Access
folder call wrksplf.exe.

You can run this program from the Start,Run command line on the pc and
you
get a "different version" of what you would see in Ops Navigator.

Is this the early versions of Ops navigator ???

Anybody know anything about these programs.

There is also a wrkmsg, wrkprt, wrkusrj.

They run at blazing speed compared to Ops navigator but I find no
mention
of them in the Access documentation.

END OF ORIGINAL POST

I added these as options to the External tools in WDSCi. Now I can run
them
directly from WDSCi.

To do so from WDSCi RSE perspective (Version: 7.0.0 Build id:
20070202_0030):

Select, Run from the menu.
Select External Tools and then select (again) External Tools.

Click on the New Launch Config icon on the Far Left (the one with the
plus

sign) of the panel that appears.

Then under the Name value I entered the name of the .exe (ie Wrksplf),
and

then click to 'browse file system' and drill to the exe in the IBM
Client
access folder and select the exe.

Click apply, then run to test. Close the app. When you select Run,
External Tools again it should appear at the top of the context menu.
Add
the other exe's as desired by repeating the steps above.
