Re: Run test procedures

The emulator is from Arcad - www.arcadsoftware.com - maybe - google for arcad and you'll get there.

If the menu is a DSPF type, the commands on it are kept in a MSGF, IIRC. Not sure how that helps, just a bit of info. If a UIM menu, no way to get the commands directly that I know of - well, they must be in the PNLGRP object - DMPOBJ could show them to you. In either case, I suppose you could have a program to extract the command somehow, then execute the command. Lots of work, eh?

Hi

I have a connection that I call test. I use it for whatever test library I'm using at the time, I just change the properties before connecting so that it sets up the right library list.

Now, a new standard with our test libraries means that developers use a greenscreen menu to execute the different standard test procedures. Is there a way I could open up my connection in RDP7.6 and execute these menu options? In each test library, the menu has the same name and each option has the same meaning, running the same named program in the test library. Eg, I could have a command runMenuOption1 that executes the program used by the greenscreen. But what if that changed? Is there another way? I vaguely remember playing with an green screen emulator that I'd plugged in, but that was back with WDSc V5.1 and I can't recall how I did that.

Thanks
