RE: SSH and Putty Question with IBMi

[Richard Schoen <Richard.Schoen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Apparently "system" isn't in the path. 

So I did:
cd /bin
system -I "DSPLIBL"

That works fine. Cool !!

Should "system" be available from anywhere or do I need to set up a default path ?

I'm using Putty from Windows and I had tried system command. 

I get connected and can run other commands on the command like  bash and  node commands just fine. 

System doesn't seem to work:

$ 'system dsplibl'

system dsplibl: not found

Do I need a specific path set up to find the system command ?
