TracyMc,

To start the reader the command (ver 4.0 and 5.0) is ACRORD32.EXE. At least that's the way my PC here at work is set up.

HTH,

All you really have to do is specify the full path to the .PDF. Here is how I open a .PDF from a CL program:

             PGM                                                       
             DCL        VAR(&CALL) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(123) VALUE(' ')     
             DCL        VAR(&WEBSITE) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(89) +            
                          VALUE('C:\Documents and +                    
                          Settings\flapeyre\My Documents\whatever.pdf')
             STRPCO                                                    
             MONMSG     MSGID(CPF0000 IWS0000)                         
             CHGVAR     VAR(&CALL) VALUE('rundll32 +                   
                          url.dll,FileProtocolHandler' *BCAT &WEBSITE) 
             STRPCCMD   PCCMD(&CALL) PAUSE(*NO)                        
             MONMSG     MSGID(CPF0000)                                 
             ENDPGM

You can change this to accept a parameter fow whatever URL or file name associated with a program that you want.

Me transmitte sursum, Caledoni!
