Don,

If it can be done from a Windows PC, versus from the IBM i side, check out
"Auto Hot Key" -- see: https://www.autohotkey.com/

With this tool, any Windows application, or anything running in a browser,
can be "automated."

Basically, if you can do something sitting at the PC with the keyboard and
the mouse, you can write a "script" to do the same thing.

Hope that helps,

Mark S. Waterbury

Thanks Evan and jack,

I do not have Curl or Python skills and the time it would take to do this
in a language I have never used ... well I do not have that amount of
time.

I can simply extract a list of exceptions and pass to the manager with a
request to please correct this data. This will take 10 minutes.

If the requirement was for a recurring function that may be a different
scenario.

Do really appreciate you taking the time to contribute to the thread ...
much appreciated!!!

Have a Bonza Day!!

Hi Don

Scott's responses not withstanding (they are all valid points) I think

you

could do possibly this with curl or python using the requests library.

if it is a one use option then either curl or python might work for you

as

you would not be stuck maintaining it.

This would be easier to do from a PC I think (Linux or Windows, but

Linux

probably has more useful hacks to support it)

Thanks Scott,

I did ask the company to provide a web service but they did not see a
benefit in doing so.

I was just exploring options and it was definitely only going to be a

one

use option.

And yes this web site is complex.

So scratch plan A - no web service and scrap plan B - no funky program

on

to plan C - ??mmm ???? thinking, thinking ...
