RMTCMD not RUNRMTCMD

[David Abramowitz]

Since most emulators are OLE objects, it is possible to start a 5250 session within another application. For instance you can create a Powerpoint presentation with an embedded 5250 session. This does not use RMTCMD. Dave

We are running a RMTCMD from a DOS prompt, passing parameters which includes a member's phone number. The RMTCMD executes a CL program in turn calling an RPG program which runs as a prestart job in QSYSWRK. An error occurs because the job is running in batch and it cannot open a display file. Is there anyway the RMTCMD can run an iSeries job interactively or is batch the only choice?

David, Thanks for your thoughts. I was trying to invoke my program from a DOS prompt, not within a pc application. I'll look into starting the program within the pc application--thus eliminating the RMTCMD altogether. Diane
