Re: Can I start a 5250 screen from a browser ?

Hello Darrell:

I know this an old thread but...Telnet is really easy to use. The function 
keys DO WORK but with certain differences: F1-F4 work just like they do in 
Client Access. For other key you must press ESC first (without holding) and 
then the desired Key (ESC then F9) for F11 press ESC/- - and for F12 you 
press ESC ESC/=. For other keys F Key above Shift and then the ESC + F 
combination. Other key combinations (they must be used simultaneously): 
Ctrl-D = PageDown, Ctrl-U = PageUp. Crtl-R = Reset

I use telnet when I need to connect to the AS/400 from a Win Machine that 
does not have Client Access or other 5250 emulation installed and it works 
great in a pinch.

Hi:

Yes, telnet from a Windows command line does connect via a virtual device
(named QPADEVxxxx). However, the display I get doesn't display underscores
for input capable fields or respond to function keys. The first is a minor
annoyance, the second is anything but minor.

This may work better in newer versions of i5/OS/400 or Windows than the
setup I tested:  V5R2 and W2K Pro. Or, there may be something about our
configuration that is unusual. However, the general case is disproved.

David,

I don't know if this will help you or not, but you can telnet to the

iSeries

from a WinDoze command prompt. The session behaves just like any TN5250
session but it is black and white instead of green.

Hello to everyone,

I've only just discovered the command STRPCCMD.
I was looking to see if the reverse was possible.

I am using RPG for CGI in internet explorer and I want to be able to run

a

green screen interactive programme from the browser.
