Run 400 Program from PC

[Guest.Visitor]

Stuart, There are a lot of ways, here are a few. You could run a remote command using FTP, you could call the CL as a stored procedure using ODBC, or you could use Java to call your program using the AS/400 toolbox. There are many more I am sure, some are easier than others, what you use will depend on your experience and environment. If any of these ideas sound interesting, I could post an example.

I found the RUNRMT Command and think that should work for what I want to do. Examples are very much appreicated! I'm trying to simpilify a procedure to transfer some data from the SSP side to the 400 side and then out to a PC file and then run a procedure in ACT to update a listing of contacts for a sales person.

Is there a way to start a 400 CL program from a PC?

Have you ever started a CL on the 400 through FTP with the following format: QUOTE RCMD CALL PGM(LIBRARY/CLNAME) PARM(MYPARM) ?? I need to do something like this and want to make sure it is a sound approach. Thanks donnie.atkinson@aig.com
