Issue

How can I hide the PASSPORT window when the macro runs?

Solution

You can use the Visible property available with our Object API in your .zam macro to do this.  A sample .zam macro below:

Sub Main()

Dim Sys, Sess

Set Sys = CreateObject("PASSPORT.System")

Set Sess = Sys.ActiveSession

Set MyScreen = Sess.Screen

Sess.Visible = False

MyScreen.SendKeys "tso<ENTER>"

MyScreen.WaitHostQuiet(2000)

MyScreen.SendKeys "userid<ENTER>"

MyScreen.WaitHostQuiet(2000)

MyScreen.SendKeys "password<ENTER>"

MyScreen.WaitHostQuiet(2000)

MyScreen.SendKeys "<ENTER>"

MyScreen.WaitHostQuiet(2000)
 

Sess.Visible = True

End Sub
