Re: Re: Access Mainframe from PC via Perl

So you are more experienced than I am ;-)

My problem is exactly that "remote job execution". But the mainframe admins are at a different location and say no before you ask.

I have seen an application feeding a 3270 Emulation with keystrokes, but I could not find out how to do it. (Or the wrong keywords for google).

The other way round was simple, write a TCP Server for the PC and a Mainframe-Rexx opening a socket. If anybody is interested, then ask me. But it is pretty standard.

Anyway, thank You for Your help.

I was just about to say "well, the x3270 suite of tools looks promising" but you are on Windows. In theory you could work something up with expect and a terminal emulator. Go to www.freshmeat.net and search for '3270' and '5250'. See also the expect modules.	[reply]
