Re: Emulating STRPCCMD

[Rory Hewitt <rory.hewitt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Vern,

The thing is, I need to be able to get this to work exactly the same as
STRPCCMD. Basically, I can't touch the program code, so I need to have a
command called STRPCCMD (in a library higher than QSYS, obviously) which
will do the *exact* same thing as STRPCCMD...

Commercial solutions are not an option, sadly.
