Ron,
Sorry for the delay. Had to have an operation on my back.
The command you are looking for is SBMJOB;
You can also submit the job to a job queue other than that associated with the job description. On OS/400 systems where the controlling subsystem is not set to QBASE, you can submit your jobs to any active job queue. If your job is a test job, you might want to submit it to the QPGMR job queue, so that it runs in the QPGMR subsystem. However, if your job is a server job that is almost always running, you can submit it to the QSYSNOMAX job queue in library QSYS by running the command this way:
SBMJOB CMD(CALL PGM(PROGRAM)) JOB(TEST)
JOBQ(QSYS/QSYSNOMAX) USER(NEWUSER)
Most CL commands can be found by searching on the command from Yahoo, goggle, ask........

Can you please elaborate.
Your AS/400 has a server that accepts commands from network servers, or any remote system as long as logon credentials are correct. The REXEC server is started with the STRTCPSVR *REXEC command.
Any compatible rexec client can send commands to it across a network. iSeries Access provides a rexec client you can install on a network server that is cleanly compatible with your AS/400. (You can also use rexec.exe that should be available on your network server.)
If you send a command, it will run in batch. If you choose, you can send a SBMJOB command to set the batch environment your command will run within.
