How to call AS/400 commands from OW

[MAnderson]

Hi,
We have two separate systems. One is OW other is AS/400. We are in a phase of developing an interface between them.
Regarding this does anybody has any idea how can we call AS/400 commands from OW?

Assuming you are running your OW installation on an iSeries, you can call BSFN Execute External Program (B34A1030) to execute any sort of command that you could execute from an iSeries command line. All you need to do is create something like a CL program on the iSeries and pass the command to execute this statement into the szCommandLine parameter...just as if you were executing it straight from the iSeries!

Hope this helps!

NOTE - this works on BATCH Jobs (which are running on the iSeries)... does
not work on Applications that are running local/web.

The B34A1030 submits the command to the host that is currently running the
application/ube... make sure you know where the app/ube will be running -
before getting stuck in design review.
