What is required to pipe data from a package scale into a 5250 screen?
Similar in concept to a barcode scanning gun.
There is a (Toledo, I believe) scale with a USB connection. Is some
specialized software required?
TIA for any suggestions.
Sounds like it. In the first place, there is no USB port on the System i
(unless they've changed that in the past few years), so it's not going to be
a pure i solution. Unless I miss my guess (and it is a guess) you'll need
to attach it to a device (PC?) and have a program/app on that device that
will read the scale and then fill in a screen (or a field on a screen) with
the result.
