Creating New Command Scripts

You can create command scripts to send one command or multiple commands from your PC instead of the host. You can either create new command scripts or create command scripts based on previous scripts.

To create new command scripts

    NOTE:If you have a previously created Remote Command script open, choose New from the File menu.

  2. Type the command that you want to send to the host, or if you have copied commands from your display session, paste them into the Command Lines box.

  3. Configure a connection to an AS/400:

    • To select a Connection Type to the host, choose the Configure Host button.

    • To define general settings for your AS/400 connection, choose the Edit Host Configuration button. You will need to select the appropriate host and PC options.

  4. To send one command line, move your cursor to the command line to be sent, then choose the Send Command button.
