Re: STRPCCMD and CPD0074

What about using RUNRMTCMD...could that be used as a replacement for STRPCCMD?

i Scott, thanks for the info.  
Rob said to put the command(s) in a batch file but how is that done?  What would 
he syntax look like?  Currently, we use this code;
STRPCCMD   PCCMD('"C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER\IEXPLORE.EXE"' *BCAT 
LINK) PAUSE(*NO)                               
So, would the .bat be the PCCMD?  
Also, what would the other approach be?  
Thanks, Frank

i Frank,
hanging this would break backward compatibility with 5250 emulators. If 
u changed it, you'd have to find every single 5250 emulator on the 
rket (not just PC5250 from IBM i access, but all vendors) so I doubt 
M will ever do it.
y approach has been to determine the largest command length I'll need 
forehand, and only use STRPCCMD for things where a short command 
ring is acceptable.
F I need longer strings, I'll take another approach.

 Hi Folks, I'm getting msg CPD0074 which says PCCMD exceeds 123 characters in 
ngth.  Has anything changed on the i to allow us to extend/increase the 123 
ngth?  Will future releases increase the 123 limit?  When CPD0074 happens what 
 you folks do?
Thanks, Frank
