Re: Virtual Terminal API's

Thank you. I recall using Alberts API a long time ago but I couldn't find
his website this time around. Here is the URL:

Art,

I don't think the VT APIs are going to be a good way for you to do
this. These APIs require you to code the 5250 protocol yourself, which
requires a lot of in-depth knowledge of the internals of the 5250 protocol.

If you need to just write a program to automate keying data on 5250
screens, I would suggest Albert York's TNAPI utility, it is a much
simpler way.

Does anyone have any examples to help me get started? Scott K's site

up with a copy book, but no examples that I can find.

Still searching midrange.com archives.

I need to signon to a remote IBM i, and send GS1 Carton#'s over and over
to
a simple 5250 program.

Thank you for any help.
