..field names are EDIT001.. 1

[lukedfl]

Hi All,

I found this tantalizing text in the Help system for Attachmate Extra v6.5 sp 2:

Editing Terminal Fields

EXTRA! identifies all protected and unprotected fields on the host screen and assigns default names to these fields. You can edit the name of any field and display the field location, length and type. The default values for protected fields are LABEL001, LABEL002, and so on. The protected field names are EDIT001. EDIT002, and so on.

I am just stumbling into the macro language to learn to automate a monthly process. This looks like I could use it to read screens and fill in data at prompts, but I can't seem to find any other references or examples.

What ARE these people talking about? Does anyone out there have a code example showing these named areas(?) in use?

I look forward to hearing from you!

David

I don't know about these hidden field names, but you may want to check out my FAQs. The whole point of the macro language is automation.
