Re: Pop up a .jsp file from a CL or a RPG program.

 Whoops I meant: "that your AS/400 client screen is running ON."
(gives an entirely different context)

STRPCCMD is just a way to run programs on the host PC that 
your AS/400 client screen is running.  I've used it to as a 
simple way bring up a web page (since the browser is a 
program on the PC) from an AS/400 session. The suggestion to 
use CGI would be much more elegant in your case as you want 
to update a DB2 file. Though quite a bit more programming 
would be needed, as well as understanding the communication 
and configuration between your program's session and your 
http server.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions. Yeah, something along the 
lines of calling
.dspf file with http://www.domain.com/updatepage.jsp in it 
and the user
could click on the link and the updatepage.jsp would pop up 
and let the user
use the .jsp page and once the user closes the .jsp page the 
control needs
to come back to the display file. Is that possible? I am 
still new to RPG so
just wanted to know what is the best approach before 
venturing into such a
thing. Also, I never used STRPCCMD does this do the same thing too?

cheers,
Jake.

how to get

anything to "pop up" unless a user clicks a button or a link.

I am not familiar with how the annoying "pop ups" occur in 

a browser,

perhaps a mouseover event with some javascript.  However, I 

don't know

how you would accomplish that with something triggered from 

the server

without user interaction of some sort.

Hello All;
I have a .jsp page which updates a few fields in a file 

on my iSeries.

Is

there a way to make that .jsp page pop up when I call a 

CL program or a

RPG

program? I would really appreciate it if somebody could 

point me in the

right direction.

Thanks in advance,

cheers.

Jake.
