■Background
We use IBM i Access for Windows for downloading the CSV or Excel files from IBM i to A PC or for uploading these files from A PC to IBM i.
Using 'STRPCCMD PAUSE(*NO)' command ,execute file transfer exe installed as IBM i Access for Windows on A PC, and perform file transfer processing.
When using IBM i Access for Windows,
subsequent processing that is necessary to execute after the file transfer by 'STRPCCMD PAUSE(*NO)' command ,is executing after the file transfer as expected.
If the file transfer command finishes execution, a message saying that 'Press any key to continue' is not displayed.
With IBM i Access Client Solutions(ACS),would like to process similar too.
■current problem
Using 'STRPCCMD PAUSE(*NO)' command ,execute file transfer jar installed as ACS on A PC, and perform file transfer processing.
subsequent processing that is necessary to execute after the file transfer by 'STRPCCMD PAUSE(*NO)' command ,is executing BEFORE the file transfer.
case1
On downloading the CSV or Excel files from IBM i to A PC,CLRPFM command as of subsequent processing is overtaking the file download process,so can't download any records.
case2
On uploading the CSV or Excel files from A PC to IBM i,Data fetching program as of subsequent processing is overtaking the file upload process,so can't take any records.
■solutions for current problem
We know the URL below ,and if adopting the method A or B , the subsequent processing is not overtaking the file transfer processing.
However, since the behavior and operation and operation method might be different from the past, we want to avoid the adoption of these methods.

method A
Changing CL programs of coding to 'STRPCCMD PAUSE(*YES)' command.
→2 types of CL programs is needed.One is for 'IBM i Access for Windows' and another is for 'ACS'.so increasing maintenance workload.
method B
Set yes to com.ibm.iaccess.strpccmd.pause property in AcsConfig.properties file.
→In all of the file transfer of ACS to run on the PC, it is necessary to wait for the user confirmation upon completion of the transfer. Different from the conventional method of operation.
■request
Using 'STRPCCMD PAUSE(*NO)' command ,execute file transfer jar installed as ACS on A PC, and perform file transfer processing.
We want you to modified to subsequent processinging is executed after the file transfer.
And, if the execution of the file transfer command is completed, the message "Press any key to continue" is, we want you to leave does not appear as current.
Use Case: If customer migrate environment from IBM i Access for Windows to ACS,
User can operate the conventional method.
