Hi Kenneth,
(I am sorry if got wrong sending mail to incorrect list.)
I am not able to check the list daily, but I should do it.
For enable STRPCCMD we add this code to tnvt class in method
writeToDisplay:
case -128: //strpccmd
String
comparar="-4-41-61-4264-125-128-95-128-128";
String comparar2="";
for (int i=1;i<11;i++)
comparar2+=bk.getNextByte();
if(comparar.equals(comparar2))
{
String comando="";
int currentbyte=0;
while(currentbyte!=2)
{
comando+=ebcdic2uni(currentbyte);
currentbyte=bk.getNextByte();
}
ejec(comando.substring(1,comando.length()));
bk.setPrevByte();
screen52.sendKeys(screen52.MNEMONIC_ENTER);
}else{
for (int i=1;i<11;i++)
bk.setPrevByte();
}
The "ejec" call performs a simple execution of local program specified by
the argument, which can contains arguments in the same string, eg:
ejec("/var/bin/firefox http://intranet/help.jsp?book=13";)
In AS400 part, we can made STRPCO (Start Personal Communications) and then
STRPCCMD with the string referred in the above example. In Client Access
there is a component pco.exe which gets this call and executes the local
process.
When user ends his AS400 session he gets a message telling "PCO.EXE IS NOT
FOUND. PRESS ENTER". We were solving this make up issue by sending the
intro automatically after log out.
One minor problem we have, (as I consider but not our users), is at the
begining of applet loading. When the applet is started and you can see the
first screen, you have to do a few mouse clicks within before you are able
to type in. This behaviour does not happen when we use tn5250j in desktop
way.
We are going to use tn5250j in a very intensive way 7/24 and our users are
very, very demanding, especially about keys behaviour. I am sure we will
have problems keeping our code with the project cvs.
(I hope my English would be a little clear. I am not very confident with
it.)
Regards
Ignacio.

Could you please join our tn5250j-general mailing list. I
would really like to discuss this with you and there are
quite a few people that would be interested in this. If you
could please copy and paste this last message when you join
because I have a few questions about the change and what it
did and why. This comment area is not a good medium to chat
back and forth with.
Also if you would like to change the source in cvs I can
give you access so we can keep up to date.
Am very interested in your implementation of the STRPCCMD
and what you are doing here.
Well that is if you guys are willing to discuss this with us.
Congrats on finding that because I never would have.
Please join us as I am looking forward to some discussions
with other developers that are actually changing the code.
Regards
Kenneth

Hi Kenneth, thank you for your answer. I'm sorry for the delay
in my response, but I was on a trip.
Working with this issue, I could see that in the AS400
terminals Mocha and tn5250j appeared with different type.
We found the solution to this problem by changing the
value "abyte[50]=16" to "abyte[50]=17" in tnvt class.
I'm glad I can see activity on this project. It can be very
important piece of our big project of migration from Windows
world to Linux. We have plans to use the tn5250j as applet.
And we are changing little things to our particular
requirements, mainly setting default properties, keys
mapping...
One of changes we made was add code for intercept the AS
command STRPCCMD to execute local processes: in some
circumstances our users are able to press F1 to get
contextual help, wich is served after opening a browser with
URL arguments.
We are a spanish catering trade with presence in Europe,
North Africa, Caribbean zone and Florida, and we have about
500 AS400 users.
Congratulations for the great work.
Ignacio.
