Use RUNRMTCMD. The PC will need to have the iSeries Access for Windows Remote Command service (CWBRXD.EXE) running.

you have to start the PC organizer first with the command
STRPCO
then use the command STRPCCMD to run your pc command
here is an example where I needed to build a file and push it to the PC for an application.

PGM
CLRPFM POSP00
CALL PGM(POS00) PARM(&CORP &DIVI &CATA)
STRPCO
MONMSG IWS4010 /*if STRPCO has already been started */
STRPCCMD PCCMD(‘C:POS.BAT’)
ENDPGM
