This may or may not help you, but iSeries Access for Windows 5.5 (came out
with V5R2?), has an option under the Edit, Preferences, Hotspots menu that
allows you to double-click on a complete URL and it will open a web browser
window.  The checkbox should be marked for Execute URL.
The trickiest part about it is that you have to have the *complete* URL
listed - including the http://.
The nice part about it is that you don't have to worry about the location of
the web browser executable, and all links open in the same window - not
separate ones like STRPCCMD.

I am writing a program that will allow users to view UPS's  tracking system
on the web from a RPGIV program. I have been successful when there has been
only one tracking number. I use the STRPCCMD command to initiate the
process. However, when trying to use multiple tracking numbers the PCCMD
parameter exceeds 123 characters and the program malfunctions. Has anyone
had any kind of experience with this and can tell me how to possibly get
around this problem?  Thanks.
