Opening an URL from ISPF (was: PCOM Question)
Must you have the format http://etc or could you other formats ? (Thinking of having links with underlined descriptive texts rather than the URL visible.) You can do this very easily with SimpList and it works with any emulator (not just PCOM). When someone clicks any part of a panel (and regardless of whether the panel shows an URL or an underline or nothing at all), your application would detect where the user clicked and based on that would execute a single line of code that calls SimpList and passes the URL. That URL would then seamlessly open in the users browser. SimpList is very inexpensive and can be installed in about 20 minutes with no special privileges required (e.g. nothing needs to be compiled/authorized/link-listed etc). If you have any questions or would like a free trial then please contact me offline.
