RE: Screen data capture

Alan,

STRCPYSCN will do that for yuo. It makes a copy of the screen after each IO 
(exfmt or write). You can specify a file to receive the data.

Thanks for your reply Bob.
Looking at the write-up for STRCPYSCN (Start Copy Screen), I don't think
its what I am looking for (unless I am misreading the write-up).
I want to be able to capture the screen data from within the same program
that generates the screen data.
Within the RPG program, directly after each EXFMT, I want to perform a
routine that will write data (including what was on that screen from the
EXFMT) to an audit file/journal.

Would STRCPYSCN work for you? (Start Copy Screen)

Hi everyone
We have a program that displays numerous screens (both subfile and
non-subfile) and windows (again, both subfile and non-subfile).  We have

an

intermittent problem where some data is being "lost", but we cannot
replicate what is happening. We believe that its due to the way the
operator/user jumps from one screen/window to another, but its hard to

find

out what path that operator/user took.
Its been suggested that we create an audit file within the program that
will capture the operator, time, the key entered to conclude the EXFMT

and

what data is on that screen or window. My question is:
Is there ONE buffer name/record name/data name that can be used to move
that screen/window data into the record of the audit file?

Thanks in anticipation
