QUESTION POSED ON: 10 June 2002
We are looking into using WebFacing. We need to allow users to be able to perform native iSeries 400 commands, such as WRKSPLF, WRKSBMJOB etc. These commands cannot be "WebFaced". How will we keep green screen out of the picture, but allow users to access their print?

>

How about QCMDEXC, QCAEXEC ? I've used those 2 pgms to build cmd strings that have substitution parms for almost any iSeries command.

Then I'd put a JSP in front of the user with those commands invoked with parms from the JSP form.

Finally, I'd like the JSP to my Webfacing application with a new button with a href link for the custom command JSP uri...

My experience has been that users DON'T need all CL commands, only a few so this approach is feasible. Obviously, this model wouldn't work for developers.
