Re: Mouse event for 5250 session?

Encapsulate your RPG business logic as a web service, write a web
application that calls the service, and present the new application to your
user base.
You'll either get promoted or fired.
In either case, your problem is solved. 😁😁😁

Is this kind of functionality available? We're on V7R1.
Looking for a cheap solution :-)

Mouse extensions for 5250 data stream are very poorly documented, very
spottily implemented, and most of what's even supported for
DDS-generated display files isn't supported in SDA. I honestly don't
recall whether there's anything to set up a mouseover event as an AID,
and without an AID (and the accompanying response to an outstanding Read
MDA Fields or Read Input Fields), everything you do is local.
