Re: Virtual Terminal API's

With TNAPI I got through our login screen, typing TELNET to the other
system, signing on there, and pressing enter a few times, but I fail once I
get to the first field in the user program. It's a menu and a 3 digit
numeric.

I tried SendtoLoc and also SendScrn but none of them are putting 003 in the
field.

Any ideas?

I made IceCap on top of that API and it is not even good to give you the
source code for that. I suggest you take a look at HACL the Host access
class library and do it in java ... that can be done over a couple of days
... the vt api will keep you busy for the next months... ( of cause you can
purchase IceCap if you want it done in RPG)

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.
