How to change writer on AS400 remote system by program ?

[francoisf]

Hi !
I've to change a writer on a remote system AS400 from another AS400.

I can do it using TELNET command and then using this command : CHGWTR WTR(PRT1) FORMTYPE(*SAME *NOMSG)
But i would like to do it automatically by program.

I try use this command : AREXEC CMD('CHGWTR WTR(PRT1) FORMTYPE(*SAME *NOMSG)') RMTLOCNAME(RemoteSysName...
but i got a message telling my to check my controler and my connection.
I don't understand why i can connect by TELNET command and yet the AREXEC command doesn't work ...

I'm a beginner and i don't know if a solution exists for my problem.

Thanks if you can help.
