Re: STRPCCMD command to open a URL from Client Access Session

Hi Bob,

Here is what I have on my system to go to websites.

I have it wrapped into a Command I call WEB, that prompts for a website.


PGM PARM(&SITE)

DCL VAR(&CMD) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(120)
DCL VAR(&SITE) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(30)

CHGVAR VAR(&CMD) VALUE('rundll32.exe +
url.dll,FileProtocolHandler ' *BCAT +
'http://www.' *CAT &SITE *TCAT '.com')

STRPCO PCTA(*NO)
MONMSG MSGID(IWS4010)

STRPCCMD PCCMD(&CMD) PAUSE(*NO)

ENDPGM







Thanx,

Nick

Re: STRPCCMD command to open a URL from Client Access Session






Try using

rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler

instead of

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"

This will open whatever their default browser is no matter where it is
installed. It can save you headaches later.

STRPCCMD command to open a URL from Client Access Session






Can anybody tell me why I can't get this to work using a variable for
the URL? Instead of going to the web site in the &URL variable,
the browser opens up to whatever the home page is set to. If I hard
code the HTTP://...... It will work.

DCL VAR(&URL) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(60)

MONMSG IWS4010
CHGVAR VAR(&URL) VALUE('HTTP://WWW.GOOGLE.COM')
STRPCO PCTA(*NO)

STRPCCMD PCCMD('"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" +
&URL')
