Re: screen scraping from scales

[CZE Midrange <CZEMidrange@xxxxxxxxxx>]

just leaving that vendors application, Booth. UPS has a proprietary package
that runs well enough but is, of course, outside the boundaries of our
daily software and shipment information needs. We will feed (interface)
their system with what they require...and weight is one of those pieces
they require.

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.

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,
