Using the Remote Command utility, you can start and control non-interactive programs on an AS/400 host without opening an AS/400 display session. Commands can be sent individually, or in combination, and can be saved as an ASCII file for resubmission.
NOTE:Return codes are received but program data cannot be returned from the host.
