does anyone have a sample script for a 3270 connection via perl?
i've read all i can find for the x3270, x3270-script, c3270, etc. but
i can't quite wrap my head around how the scripting should work. i've
done telnet connections with Net::telnet so i am familiar with the
basics but i can't find anything as 'straightforward' for 3270
connectivity.

thanks for any and all help,

I assume you have http://search.cpan.org/

A couple of suggestions:

There is openmvs which is a unix shell. This might give you the
ability to script then push the data down to the server.

There is the ability to run web applications on MVS so this might be an
easier option.

You could connect via LU6.2 and have a conversation rather than trying
to scrape screens. I don't know how, just giving you something to think
about and ask about.

Can you remotely connect to the database and avoid the applications?

thanks. i did go through cpan, the URI module was the only thing that
referenced 3270 connectivity, but it didn't appear to be anywhere near
what i need. i'll look into openmvs but was really hoping to find
something i could use as an integral part of a perl script so i could
gather and forward the desired data seamlessly.

unfortunately, i can't connect to the data backend; has to be through
a 3270 frontend.

thanks for the suggestions.
joe
