Hi Javier,

Take a look at
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.1?topic=ssw_ibm_i_71/apis/QsnReadScr.htm

"The Read Screen (QsnReadScr) API reads the contents of the entire
screen without requiring an AID-generating key to be pressed."

The trick would be getting the input buffer and command handles.

That also has a link to
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.1?topic=ssw_ibm_i_71/apis/QsnReadImm.htm

"The Read Immediate (QsnReadImm) API reads the contents of all input
fields on the display without requiring an AID key to be pressed."

Good luck!
