PDF not automatically opening

[Scott Klement]

As I said in the first of this question, it works fine on green screen so there has to be something about your product that blocks it from working and I am not wanting to go to 1000 pcs and install new software to make it work. I don't see a straight forward reason it just stops working because it is being called through Genie/Atrium.

No, there's nothing that blocks it.

Anyone who was following this thread. The answer I received from support is that Genie only supports STRPCCMD if you use PC Command Listener or the PC Command Launcher which are programs which must be added to each user's pc.

So, it will not work as it does in 5250 unless you add new software to every PC that will be using the programs that are going to call the STRPCCMD.

There are other options aside from the listener or the launcher -- but, yes... It can't run a command directly on the PC. If a web page could do that, any web page anywhere on the Internet could run commands on your PC. That'd be very bad from a security perspective.

That's the reason the command listener and launcher exist -- in order to provide a way to run commands, since the browser can't do it.

We also open PDFs from our web sites. To accomplish this we use an onclick event for a page button or hyperlink. When the onclick event is fired a javascript function is called and looks like the following code ( shown below ). The PDF, if it exists is opened and displayed in a separate browser tab or window. As you have the IFS path value in a filed on your display file then it should be easy to accomplish what you're desiring.

var popup = window.open( "/path_to_document/document.pdf", "_blank" );
