Second time I've mentioned it in the last couple of days, but Albert York
wrote TNAPI, which is avalable for free.  Might be more trouble than it's
worth, IMO.

This can be accomplished with the Virtual Terminal APIs but is not trivial
if you have not used these APIs in the past.

Feeding an interactive application?






Have a situation, in which a user must enter about 8 key fields in a
maintenance program to retrieve data that needs to be changed.  This is a
software vendor-supplied program (its RPG - but no source available).

We can extract the 8 fields the user needs from several databases.  The
question is...is there a way to "feed" this info to the maintenance
program screen?  We were thinking maybe using CL to read the extracted
data from a file to "populate" the screen...and then have the user take
over control and do the required maintenance.  We figure we can cut the
user's time required to complete this in about half.

Anybody done this????
