QUESTION POSED ON: 25 January 2006
I want to start a .Wav file from my iSeries. It works with the STRPCCMD but the length of the parameter is limited to 123, which is too small. Are there any alternatives?

Strpccmd is indeed limited in length -- it passes the command string in the 5250 buffer.

Alternatives:

- Start incoming command service and use runrmtcmd on the iSeries. This allows for longer commands and is much more flexible (you can send command to the pc from a batch job for example.)

- Use strpccmd but run a batch file. The batch file (located on the PC or any network drive) can receive shorter parameters and to operate within the 128 length barrier.
