This lacks any elegance. You'll probably invest more time in a solution but the following CL should work:

PGM SNDUSRMSG MSG('Please click on the following link: + http://www.google.com') TOUSR(PETE) ENDPGM

Of course, you set the USERID (or don't include it and the user executing the program will get the message).

Compile it and then use CALL URLMSG

Thank's a lot for the input. Okay, I see that the option is checked. So, I
should be able to write a small CL program and put in a command to open up
URL in a browser, right?. I am intending to call the CL from the command
line..Something like CALL MYCLPGM. Would that work? Thanks again for the
suggestions.

cheers,

Jake.

Subject: Re: [WEB400] Pop up a .jsp file from a CL or a RPG program.

If clicking a link on a 5250 screen works, then just embed
the URL in a screen.  To get an idea of how this works, to
can just type http://www.google.com on a command line in the
Mochasoft 5250 client even without embedding it in a screen
(pagedown will highlight it then click on it).  That doesn't
seem to work in iSeries Access but then, I don't use iSeries
Access very often.

However, in Mochasoft/iSeries Access/tn5250j clients they ALL
will recognize an http:// as the start of a URL and will
allow you to click.
If you are an iSeries Access user, there may be someone on
this list that can tell you how to set that up.

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
5250 screen
that 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.
