Re: Feeding an interactive application?

Hi, Rick:

See the December 2003 issue of iSeries News, page 51 for an article by Jeff
Yanoviak ... he shows how to use the Virtual Terminal APIs to update a
*QRYDFN, using the interactive WRKQRY tool. The same principles can be
applied to any 5250 application.

Subject: Feeding an interactive application?


> Have a situation, in which a user must enter about 8 key fields in a
maintenance program to retrieve data that needs to be changed.  This is a
software vendor-supplied program (its RPG - but no source available).
>
> We can extract the 8 fields the user needs from several databases.  The
question is...is there a way to "feed" this info to the maintenance program
screen?  We were thinking maybe using CL to read the extracted data from a
file to "populate" the screen...and then have the user take over control and
do the required maintenance.  We figure we can cut the user's time required
to complete this in about half.
