Re: screen scraping from scales

["Booth Martin" <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When you say "leaving the windows platform" do you mean you are going to
Linux or Mac?  Or are you just leaving that vendor's application?

I keep saying "Look at Visual Age RPG" for these kinds of problems.  Its the
RPG you know, its Windows based, and its free for you.

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,
