  • Subject: Virtual Terminal APIs?

Hi,

We've got a requirement to "front end" an existing interactive program from
an ERP system.  The program is big and ugly and getting it to run in batch
will be time consuming.

In the past we've got round this sort of thing using VB and EHLLAPI to poke
keystrokes into the existing program, but the client wants an AS/400 only
solution.

Would we be able to do this sort of thing with the virtual terminal APIs?
If so, can anyone point me towards some example code.  I effectively just
want to feed keystrokes to an existing screen and do some basic error
checking, but in batch.

Thanks
Robin
