Actually, PCOM will do this if you happen to have it. If PCOM can interpret what you double click on as a URL it will fire it off to your default browser. Try typing:
http://www.google.com or whatever your favorite web site might be on a mainframe screen somewhere: ISPF edit screen, TSO ready, etc. and double click it. Not sure if there's a configuration setting to allow/disallow this behavior. Our Security folks used to use this facility to link to user docs for one of their ISPF applications. No reason the URL couldn't point to a mainframe web page/CGI script/what-have-you. Might need to run a URL shortener somewhere in your enterprise. The Security docs link pointed to Sharepoint and those links tend to get very long very fast. Least ways, that's my experience. At the time I ran something called SURL on Linux for z for them. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@listserv.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Eamon C Sent: Friday, August 28, 2015 9:41 AM To: IBM-MAIN@listserv.ua.edu Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: Mainframe hyperlink z/OS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
