Re: 5250 screen calls to browser

Below is CL code that worked for me in a demo.

BEGPGM: PGM

STRPCO

MONMSG MSGID(CPF0000 CPD0000 CPC0000 IWS0000 IWS4010)

STRPCCMD PCCMD('rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler +
http://www.kellycookson.info/') PAUSE(*NO)

MONMSG MSGID(CPF0000 CPD0000 CPC0000 IWS0000)

ENDPGM: ENDPGM

I don't know the limitations and gotchas of this, though. Someone on the
list might be able to improve the code.

Thanks,
Kelly

This is old code but might be useful.

http://martinvt.com/Code_Samples/PC_Commands/pc_commands.html

This is the relevant section:

* Start PC Organizer if not started.
C eval wCmdString = 'STRPCO PCTA(*NO)'
C callp(e) pQCmdExc(wCmdString:
C %len(%trim(wCmdString)) )
...
* Run the command.
C eval wCommand =
C 'start ' + 'http://target.site.com'
C eval wCmdString = 'strpccmd pccmd('''
C + %trim(wCommand)
C + ''') pause(*NO)'
C callp pQCmdExc(wCmdString:
C %len(%trim(wCmdString))

Anyone know how, if possible, to have a green screen make a call to
the system browser and passing a url supplied by the display?
