Couldn't your green screen program just plug the values into the database and avoid the whole issue?

Subject: Placing data on the clipbaord

Hi, everyone,

Is it possible to have a green screen IBM i program place data on a PC's clipboard?

I have a client that uses a web-based order processing application that runs on an IBM i server.
However, the web based application is unchangeable. No code available.

They do have green screen capability and knowledge of the application's infrastructure and database.
So, they can have a PC user with a web browser into their order processing application AND a green screen client running simultaneously.

Can a green screen program be written that does X and then automatically places it's results on the clipboard so the user can simply Alt-Tab to the browser and paste the results into the web application? If the green screen program can place data on the clipboard, maybe it could perform the Alt-Tab and Ctrl-V (paste) as well?

Yes, I know they could do it manually (select the data from the green screen using the mouse/keyboard and press Ctrl-C to place it on the clipboard in the first place).
But they would like to skip the manual copy to clipboard step at least.

Can it be done? How?



Best Regards,

Thomas Garvey
