Re: RPG Screen to URL Link

Couldn't you just code it in the screen's DDS with a DSPATR(ND) [non-display]?
Though,frankly, hiding the link seems to obfuscate the purpose.

Hi, 
Using a client access 5250 emulation screen and HOT SPOTS, we can have a URL
link be "clickable" to any web site (URL).  Is it possible to hide the URL
so it's not visible to end users but still clickable?

The goal is to enable RPG / 5250 screen to be able to link to complementary
web applications.  This is possible today by simply putting a URL like:
http://CNN.COM on a emulator screen (with URL links enabled
Edit-Preferences-URL) but again the problem is that URLs can become very
long and not friendly to end users. Thanks in advance. Thanks, Paul
