Scripting Introduction
JET 3270 can run scripts to automate a routine
interaction with the host. Scripts can simulate terminal key
presses and wait for a specified string to be received from
the host. You can configure JET 3270 to initiate scripts
immediately after connecting to a host (this is a logon
script), or when a key combination is pressed. Script files
are simple text files that can be stored on the local file
system or accessed via a web server.
You can also have JET 3270 record the actions you
take to navigate a set of host screens, and then have JET
3270 automatically create a simple script file which
will "replay" the host screen navigation whenever JET
3270 initiates the script. This can help to make your
job of creating a script file much simpler, and less
error-prone.
