And from what do I start? 

Can I  also do it at the beginning of next week?

Re: [Tn5250j-general] STRPCCMD - STRPCO uses?







Wim

Yep sure do.  That is how I do the hotspots for http/https and the such 
for
launching the different browsers.

Is there anyway for you to give it a go and finish up parsing the command? 
 I
have to get studying and put out a release tomorrow.  Next week is for my 
exams
as I have put them off long enough.

I wrote routines in the OperatingSystem module to do the calls for 
execute.  It
will need to be changed to do a wait though but that is not a problem the 
code
is still there just commented out.

On thing is for windows and others for linux and such.  You could always 
call
the command.exe like CA does and it will pull up a dos window.  If not 
then it
will just execute the code.  Either one is fine with me.

Kenneth
