command to initiate a dial process from CLP?

[EDIguru]

There probably is a command, because I know we call from a CL a program in our EDI software, (Harbinger/Inovis Trusted Link), to do dial ups. It is written in CL/RPG, but I don't have the source code. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Thanks! Any change you can retrieve the CL source?

Sorry, they don't give us the source code.

I need to FTP data from our AS/400. The issue is that we have to use a dial line to do this and we want to automatically dial the line, ftp the data and disconnect. Does anybody know if there is a command to initiate the dial from within a CL program? Thanks!

Okay, thanks for your help. We ended up getting a communications "guru" to help us configure the line/controller, etc. and used the "strtcpptp" command.
