Re: 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?
