RE: Imaging interface techniques and tools - PART II

["Carl Galgano" <cgalgano2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ray, this is a little off topic, but none the less interesting.
A while back I asked a similar question, specifically I wanted to put a web
link on a green screen and be able to launch the browser.  Most of the
replies I received were similar to the once you have received here, using CA
and RUNRMTCMD (CA is a requirement for RUNRMTCMD).  I didn't really want to
have to try my solution to depending on client access (not everyone has it,
and it is a bit pricy for the emulator).  I wrote to the folks at Mochasoft
and asked if they could add some sort of hotspot capabilities to their
emulator that if it "saw" a web link, a click would pass the link and launch
the browser.  Well, the other day, out of pure coincidence, I downloaded the
newest version of the Mocha 5250 emulator, and the capability is there to
code a link of http://www.midrange.com, click it and it will launch IE.  One
disappointment is that is launches IE and not the default browser for the PC
(I use firefox).  None the less, it works well.

If you run this command (after some fairly easy setup work), you can execute
an image file (i.e. Jpeg, BMP) from a 400 C/A 5250 session...which is great!

RUNRMTCMD CMD('IEXPLORE.EXE c:\KIDS.JPG') RMTLOCNAME('192.168.168.13' *IP)
RMTUSER(username) RMTPWD(user's Password)

My question is, how, from the as400 side, can you retrieve the PC's IP
address that is making the request along with the user and username from the
windows sign in procedure? Sure, you could build a DDS and hard-code each
user, their PC address, user name and password and then extract it from any
RPG program but...it sure would be much cleaner to obtain that information
"softly" rather than rely on "messy" table logic as such described.

Thanks for your input!
