Re: Dumb Terminal or Emulator

One thing I don't understand about this is that code you write for a
5250 session does not run on the terminal whether it is a dumb
terminal or a PC. If you want to go out to a web service, it isn't
the terminal doing it, it is the RPG program. So that should still
work regardless of the terminal type. Of course if you want to do a
RUNRMTCMD or STRPCCMD, then you can simply monitor for a message in
the CL program, as someone already said.

And may I point out that since we're talking about 5250 devices, NOT Lear ADM-3s or other "glass teletypes" (nor even the much more advanced ADM-1s, Datamedia 1500s, Teleray 10s, or Dec VT-100s), your terminals can hardly be called "dumb."
