STRPCCMD limitations

[David Abramowitz]

Have you tried using RUNRMTCMD instead? Dave

Show us the exact command you are trying to run. 123 characters is the max. No way around it. RUNRMTCMD is another option, as David suggested, but you have to pass down a user ID and password, which brings up other issues. Chris

(I am in > V5R2) Is this a static address, or do you dynamically change it every time? If it's static, I'd suggest feeding it to either TinyURL.com or MakeAShorterLink.com . They will return a much smaller URL for you to use. Bill

I want to open an URL Address directly from a RPG (or CL) Application. The problem is that the address is very very very long. I was busy to prepare my application and will test it with a simple hardcoded CL, but I received the following message during compilation. "CPD0074 30 Value 'start Iexp' for PCCMD exceeds 123 characters." Is there a way to bypass this 123 characters limitation ? (I am in V5R2) thanks in advance, René

HEre is the code that I will use, but, as Bill Robins was asking, this is not a static address. There is a relation between my article file (on iSeries) and documents existing on my mother company's site (in this case, the link is 005107 which is the article number) STRPCCMD PCCMD('start Iexplore.exe + http://klick.klueber.de/pui/SDB/EU/eusds/fr+ anzösisch/000-010/+ SD005107_-_DUOTEMPI_PMY_45_(SMÖRY_OCH_M_)_(F).PDF/') + PAUSE(*NO) It will be probably much easier to change the URL address by reducing the number of used characters ... but mother companies are mother companies and they don't easily accept to change anything ...
