Re: TNAPI (was Virtual Terminal API's)

I emailed Albert and he responded! That's great. I sent him my logs and
he agrees what we are seeing is strange. He asked me to get info from the
developer. Believe it or not the guy isn't cooperative and I doubt I'll
get the info Albert wants.

Thanks for the reply. I wonder if I'm having a problem because I am using
TELNET to go to another system.
I tried changing the TNAPIFUNC to start to the other IP Address but that
didn't work. I have to look at that some more.

I had not used this before, but it looked interesting so I gave it a
try. I was able to get it into our main application and move around
without any major problems. I would have to get deep into something to
get to a numeric field, so I threw together a small test and it works
for me. I did have to tweak TNAPIFUNC. It is hardcoded to 127.0.0.1 and
the box I am working on doesn't allow unnamed display connections. This
looks interesting but it looks like I would have to know more about the
5250 stream to use it for anything productive.

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.

Here is the log with some stuff removed.

R/T FUNCTIONS

I See the 003 being sent but it's not on the screen capture. Looks

like the

Enter is going. But the app says operation can't be blank. If I runi

it manually I

can enter 003 and press enter and it works.

Thanks, Art
