Re: TNAPI (was Virtual Terminal API's)

Hi Art. This is Albert.

If you’re not able to get the developer to give you the information that
you requested then try using DSPFFD on the display file. It should give me
the information I need.

Thanks,

Albert

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.

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
