Title

VBA Application to Capture Information That is More Than One Screen Long

Product

PASSPORT PC to Host, PASSPORT Web to Host

Emulation Types

VT, SCO ANSI, Wyse 60

Issue

I would like to write a VBA application to capture information from a Wyse screen that is more than one screen long. After this information is captured, I would like to pass it into a database. How can this be accomplished?

Solution

If the information is more than one screen long then you will need to determine which host key performs the scroll down function for your host application. In order to do so, Rocket Software recommends that you use PASSPORT PC to Host and manually navigate through your host application. Once you have determined which host keys are being used, you can then programmatically specify them along with other PASSPORT Screen Objects to write your VBA application.
