The question lies out there = America wants to know!!
This thread began with a premise that didn't and still doesn't make sense; the idea of an Excel macro feeding data into a green-screen. VBA in Excel may support ODBC and web service (http) interfaces to IBM i, but not virtual terminal interfaces.
However, somebody posted a reference to DataLoader, which evidently does offer some kind of virtual terminal interface on one end, and can extract data from Excel as a data source on the other.
I also found out that HATS has a utility that builds an IBM i hosted macro of sorts based on green screen navigation, which also provides an interface enabling web service clients access to green-screen applications.
So, the original premise of an Excel Macro interfacing with a green screen application may be incorrect, but there are evidently other ways to link Excel to a green-screen application.
