Re: Pop up a .jsp file from a CL or a RPG program. -- WEB400

STRPCCMD is just a way to run programs on the host PC that your AS/400 client 
screen is running.  I've used it to as a simple way bring up a web page (since 
the browser is a program on the PC) from an AS/400 session. The suggestion to 
use CGI would be much more elegant in your case as you want to update a DB2 
file. Though quite a bit more programming would be needed, as well as 
understanding the communication and configuration between your program's 
session and your http server.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions. Yeah, something along the 
lines of calling
.dspf file with http://www.domain.com/updatepage.jsp in it 
and the user
could click on the link and the updatepage.jsp would pop up 
and let the user
use the .jsp page and once the user closes the .jsp page the 
control needs
to come back to the display file. Is that possible? I am 
still new to RPG so
just wanted to know what is the best approach before 
venturing into such a
thing. Also, I never used STRPCCMD does this do the same thing too?

cheers,
Jake.

Do you mean, from a 5250 session?  You could bring up a

has the URL and the user could click on that.  I don't know

how to get

anything to "pop up" unless a user clicks a button or a link.

I am not familiar with how the annoying "pop ups" occur in

a browser,

perhaps a mouseover event with some javascript.  However, I

don't know

how you would accomplish that with something triggered from

the server

without user interaction of some sort.

Hello All;
I have a .jsp page which updates a few fields in a file

on my iSeries.

Is

there a way to make that .jsp page pop up when I call a

CL program or a

RPG

program? I would really appreciate it if somebody could

point me in the

right direction.

Thanks in advance,

cheers.

Jake.
