STRPCCMD STRPCO - DOS Window etc

[kreynolds]

I have been asked to allow users to select an email from the green screen and launch Outlook. I have a test program to run the following commands which do actually work bringing up Outlook.

command = 'STRPCO PCTA(*NO)';
callp(e) qcmdexc(command:cmdlen);

command = 'STRPCCMD PCCMD(''START mailto:reyfarm@yahoo.com'')
callp(e) qcmdexc(command:cmdlen);


But...a couple issues:
1. There is a DOS window displaying after they exit from Outlook
2. I can only run the process once. A second time gives me the following error:
Message . . . . : PC Organizer is already active for device QPADEV004S.
Cause . . . . . : Attempting to start PC Organizer when it is already active
for the device.

Any suggestions how to handle there issues?

Sorry....the second issue I was having is already taken care of I believe by my use of callp(e)....
Still would like to eliminate that DOS window from appearing...

Hi kreynolds:

try adding the stuff in bold

STRPCO
MONMSG CPF0000
command = 'STRPCCMD PCCMD(''START mailto:reyfarm@yahoo.com'') pause(*no)

Best of luck

Can you do a CALLP on a STRPCO command? Really?

As for the Monitoring for the message, use the C function to call your command and you can trap for any returned error.

THank you so much! I got it to work by adding PAUSE(*NO)...
