Interesting situation:
We have a CICS application. (heh)
What we need to do:
Press a Function Key that'll trap the system and run a cobol (or other) program external to CICS.
This program then needs to get access to various information about the current screen, I.E. which field is highlighted, which map is being displayed, etc.
The reason we're trying to do this is because we need to implement the function of this program globally in the program, but we're trying to avoid making changes to every program in a large application.
We know that this or something similar can be done because we're using another product which gets the information for its purposes, but it's a third party product so we don't know how it does it.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Jim
