AS400 RPG Call

[BillFClark]

I need to call AS400 RPG programs from within One World Xe (unless the RUNUBE starts working). I have read previous posts and created a batch application and an event rule in the header with a variable equal to my CL lib/pgm (CALL PGM(BCLAR/J55BC001). I then added the business function B34A1030 to call the command line of my variable. When I run the UBE it does not call my CL pgm (I can dspobjd BCLAR/J55BC001 *PGM and see it is not used) and when I view submitted reports it has errored (I can't find out why it errored). I then made sure my variable was long enough (I used a description that was 250 string) and changed my variable to c:\winnt\rmtcmd.exe CALL PGM(BCLAR/J55BC001) and it still errored. I can go to RUN from my PC and enter the rmtcmd and it does run my CL pgm on the AS400.

I am new to all of this. Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong or could do differently?

Hi Bill.
You have to deploy the UBE, (that executes BSFN B34A1030),
to the enterprise server first. Then run the UBE in batch, not locally.
We use B34A1030 all the time here, and it works great.
We have some that run CL programs with a string of parameters as well.
ie.) CALL PGM(WDSOBJ/J554301) PARM('Y' 'N' '245687' 'OUTQ2')
The only problem we ever had was trying to run it with an override to
LOCAL.
Once the UBEs are deployed with an update package to the AS/400, they work
great.
Feel free to contact me directly if you need more help.

Just my tuppence worth. The other reply seems to have answered your question but I will give you an idea that I have successfully used. Create a file with minimum two columns Lib and PGM (you could have more for parameters) then add a trigger program to process these records after an insert. The IBM manuals can tell you how to setup a trigger program or you can write directly to me and I can tell you how to.
