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.
