Re: Request for Example of Open Access Handler for WORKSTN Screen Program

I know but I don't think that you can save the existing programs. Whatever
you do to trick it you'll find yourself in a deadlock. So better spend time
and money using a native tool and not reinventing the weel.

The cheapest and fastest solution is IWS, you expose your RPG programs as

Hi Vern,

We have a requirement to convert our Green Screen Menu into a web-based

UI.

To achieve this, I’m planning to transform the green screen program

into

an

API that can be used by the web interface.

In order to move forward, I’ve started exploring different options,

and I

came across Open Access Handlers (OAH) as a potential solution.
Regards,
Suren

Hi Suren

I have to ask - why would you use an OAR handler? A handler is far

too

complicated to do a simple WORKSTN process. What you describe sounds
like standard RPG screen processing, including using indicators that

are

set based on values from the display file.

Hi All,

I’m looking for an example of an Open Access Handler for a WORKSTN

screen

program that demonstrates how to:

1. Retrieve screen fields in the handler program.
2. Enable function keys as a response to EXFMT.
3. Populate input fields on the screen using the handler.

I’ve searched online but haven’t come across a comprehensive

example

that

covers all these aspects.

If anyone has a sample available or knows of a link I may have

missed,

I

would greatly appreciate it if you could share. Your help would be

very

much appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Suren
