Default How to read text content of AS400 screen

I'm not sure how helpful this is but...
Years ago I needed to do some "screen scraping" of data from an old banking
general ledger system called FCS. As it turned out, that system had a
scripting language called SISL that nobody in the company even knew about.
Using that, I could find input coordinates from the screen, read lines from
text files, and load the input screens. Maybe your application also has some
kind of scripting language.

Good luck

Dear all,

Is there a way to read all the text content of a dos mode interface
application, like AS400 or dos prompt?
I want to write a macro to read AS400 current menu's content and status,
then do some calculation and make some input by sendkeys funtion
thereafter.

Thanks
