RE: [Easy400Group] STRPCCMD - error

Thanks for your suggestions. I will keep them for future references. Meanwhile, I have found out that our contract with IBM for V5R3 includes unlimited use of Client Access. So, my manager decided to install this one on every PC in our company (over 1500).

I know from experience that when you run STRPCO/STRPCCMD from emulation
software that does not support STRPCCMD, it'll return the exact error
message that Adriana described.

    'Required PC program (PCO.EXE) is not active
     No communications with PC can occur.'

(The error message is inaccurate, of course. You can make this work
without a program called PCO.EXE, IBM assumes that you'll name your
program the same way that they did.  Even on a Linux system where
programs don't end with .EXE, it'll still say this.)

If you don't believe me and want to see for yourself, go to
http://tn5250.sourceforge.net and download that TN5250 client (it's free).
Try the STRPCO/STRPCCMD and you'll see that it gives the message that
Adriana describes.

Adriana,

Assuming that an alternative to STRPCCMD is desired, here are some
thoughts:

a) One solution might be to use an alternative program.  Client Access
comes with an "Incoming Remote Command" option.  If this is configured
properly, you can run commands with the RUNRMTCMD CL command instead of
using STRPCCMD. (Don't get the two confused, the incoming remote command
option is not used by STRPCCMD, and RUNRMTCMD doesn't care if your 5250
client supports PCO)

I provided info about setting up Incoming Remote Command and RUNRMTCMD at
the following link:

There are other (3rd party) software packages for Windows that enable
remote commands as well if you don't want to be limited to IBM's.

b) Kevin Vandever wrote a remote command facility in Java that can be used
from pretty much anywhere. I haven't tried that one, but if you're
interested in that possibility, there's an article at the following link:

Good luck
