Re[2]: 3270 screen capture

     Alison, that util in MC captures a display screen and passes is 
     through a data queue to a receiving program. As written, it 
     captures 1920 bytes (24x80) so it would need to be modified to 
     capture (27x132). Onve you receive the data, you could parse it for 
     whatever you're looking for. 
     
     Just an option.

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.
