RxNet

This function allows you to make certain NetApi calls from Rexx. This enables you to do such things as changing passwords, adding and deleting userids, validating a userid/pw, listing users and logons.

Syntax

 netrc = RxNet(func, server, arg3, arg4, arg5, arg6)

Parameters

func = 'UserPwSet' /* Change a user's password */

        = 'UserAdd'      /* Add a user to UPM */
        = 'UserDel'      /* Delete a user from UPM */
        = 'UserVal'      /* Validate a userid/password without logging on */
        = 'UserEnum'     /* List users in UPM */
        = 'UserGetInfo'  /* Get user information */
        = 'LogonEnum'    /* List active logons */
        = 'FileEnum'     /* File usage on the LAN */
        = 'UseAdd'       /* Do a "Net Use dev \\srv\alias" */
        = 'UseDel'       /* Do a "Net Use dev /d" */
        = 'UseEnum'      /* Do a "Net Use" */

server

name of server, or '00'x for local

Return

netrc

return code from NetApi call. If netrc < 2100, then it's probably a base OS/2 return code, otherwise, it's defined in NETCONS.H
