Re: PTF : "OSP ENHANCED WORSTATION API"

["JeanMichel" <jmpenasse@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Both APIs QWSRTVOI/QWSSPRST are great. We have a tool which interface sreen
I/O to dynamically (no src changes needed) add more functions to old
programs (like sensitive help, lookup window returning selected values,
changing display constants, changing fields locations, attributes, hidding
fields ...).
To do so we have intensive use of system programs and others objects. So we
are very concerned by all new "workstation" API who can help us to work at
higher level than 30 (without changing programs to system state ;-) )
We will be very interested in some kind of "exit program" enabling to
intercept 5250 datastream between QT3REQIO and other FM functions.
Does it exist ?

| The QWSRTVOI API has been around for a while.  It's roughly equivalent
| to MI reading from "DCL DD LAST BASPCO POS(H'452') CHAR(30)".  Looks
| like the QWSRTVOI API was enhanced in V4R5 to include a list of record
| format names on the target device, start/end rows, record types (SFL/
| WINDOW/MNUBAR etc.)
|
| Looks like the QWSSPRST API is new in V4R5.  This will help me a lot.
| Thanks, IBM!  Currently I am directly calling QWSSPEND and QWSRST in
| the system domain.  So after we install V4R5, I will be a good boy and
| change my calls to the QWSSPRST API instead.   :-)
|
| The other Work Station Support APIs are Query and Set Keyboard Buffer.
