Re: 3270 screen capture

[Alison Herman <alison@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Want we need to do is capture the data on the screen, parse it out into
fields to populate an AS/400 database.  The 3270 is using an SNA
connection and can be started from either a PC or dummy terminal.  

Thanks for info so far, I'm checking it all out.
