RMTCMD - (Run) Remote Command
RTVDSP - Retrieve Display
These commands require V4R2 or later and that object observability is intact.
RMTCMD lets you run a command inside another job. You can sign it off, copy files from QTEMP, etc. The only restriction is that the job must not already be interrupted by a break message. If it has, the command will not be executed. This command puts a workstation message queue into break mode with a special break handling program. When that program receives a predefined string it executes the rest of the message as a command using QCMDEXC.
RTVDSP lets you receive a display from another interactive job. Use F3 to exit or F5 to refresh. The same restriction as for RMTCMD applies here; the job must not already be interrupted by a break message. If it has, the RTVDSP command will hang, and you will have to use SYSREQ 2 to cancel.
These commands will not run under security level 40 or greater, unless you patch MRUNRMTCMD to "System state".
