The Terminal Capture method is the LearnMode type method you use with terminal emulator programs and mainframe programs.
This method uses a straightforward technique of copying the business application screen contents to the system clipboard. This method is most commonly used with Terminal Emulation programs. The terminal emulator displays data screens from a mainframe or online business application.
Depending on the terminal emulator that you use, the way it copies screen data to the clipboard varies. A connect string is needed for each screen that is created. The connect string provides LearnMode with a set of system level program calls that relate specifically to the terminal emulation program being used. Determining the connect string is one of the most difficult tasks in this method. The clipboard contents are then copied into the captured window in the screen. Document property values are defined by highlighting the text in the captured window. The screen label is defined the same way.
We recommend checking with Perceptive Software Product Support to ask if the connect strings have already been determined for the terminal emulator for another customer using the same program.
