Re: Difficulty Sending Character Stream Over Telnet Connenction -- MIDRANGE-L

How about using the standard TN5250 support? Do you have iSeries Access, which has an emulator? An AS/400 will do all the formtting for you. Can you say more about why use the simple telnet? There are also a number of other emulation apps out there, including some Java ones.

This is the scenario -
   Machine A - PC running Windows XP
   Machine B - AS/400 running OS v5r2
   The goal is to establish a telnet connection and log on from the
   Windows machine; execute an  application on the AS/400 and return
   the output to the Windows machine to be displayed via the emulator.
Steps: 1. Initiate a telnet session from Machine A using a VT100 telnet emulation+ program. A telnet connection is established with Machine B (port 23). The "negotiated" mode is VT100 full screen. 2. Log on over the telnet connection. 3. Invoke an application program on Machine B from Machine A via the emulator+ . 4 .The application program on Machine B outputs a uniquely delimited character stream destined for the emulator+ on Machine A. 5. The telnet server on Machine B inserts screen formatting character sequences into the stream. 6. These unexpected sequences are not always handled by the emulator+ on Machine A. All "non-standard" sequences outside of the uniquely delimited character stream are discarded by emulator+ on Machine A; no so, when the sequences are inserted into the middle of the delimited sequence.
   What is the command/technique to stop the AS/400 telnet server from
   sending the formatting sequences to Machine A?  Is that the right
   solution?
Thanks for any help!
Cheers,
