RE: screen scraping from scales

If you are using Client Access for the PC Emulation,
there should be a directory with sample programs in it.
Short of that, you will need to search the site where
your emulator comes from for API's and other utilities to 
do this. The last time I had to do one of these, it didn't
take very long to do. Maybe a week.

Subject: screen scraping from scales







We are in need of an application solution to "scrape" a weight from an
electronic scale (Toledo) that is connected to a PC that is operating an
interactive program on the 400 through Client Access.

The user will enter some carton information that is headed for an interface
file that will produce records within UPS's Automated Shipment System. The
carton needs to be weighed and the results need to be "materialized" into a
pre-defined row/column co-ordinate within the 400 application so our users
do not have to key the data.

UPS has their own PC system and their own solution but theirs is a
proprietary system on a window platform that we are replacing...we would
like an answer for our 400 application.

Any ideas?

Thanks much,
