AS400 User Input

[JamiecPBC]

I have minimum knowledge on how to create VBScript. I usually google search, copy and paste code and hope it works.

I'm a graphic designer and I have to create an invoice for certain signs I print.

I recorded a macro in AS400 to log me in and take me to the invoice screen.

At this point I would like to type the quantity and price of the sign.

I'm not sure how to add a user input code into the VBScript. Is this possible?

(Bold sections where I want it to open with a message box prompt)

This isn't really a VBScripot question, it is about IBM's Host Access Class Library Automation Objects. Not sure we have any experts in here for that, nor am I quite sure whether there is a more appropriate forum on this site

You could try InputBox

Thanks for your help. With more some more searching I found the code that adds a user input.

From this website.
