Hi all,

I need to make a screen shot report on some of my programs as soon as
the users presses the accept-key to start processing transactions for
audit purposes. I've been using the DBSCREENOUT for years and know
this to be the easiest way to get a screen dump but the problem is
that Control-P has to be pressed for this to work. I have over 500
programs and they all need to be standard so changing the accept-key
to Control-P is out of the question (my current accept-key is F9). Is
there a way to make the screendump without pressing Control-P? Like
calling whatever informix function is called when control-p is
pressed? If not then is there a c function that can emulate a keypress
so I can emulate a Control-P when user presses F9? INFORMIX-4GL
Version 7.30.HC4P1, INFORMIX-ESQL Version 9.40.UC2, HP-UX alpha
B.11.00 U 9000/800. Big thanks in advance

It won't be of any help to you - but you can do it in Aubit4GL :-), there is
extensive support for screen dumping including the dump_screen function, and
dump screen key (and output filter)...

Heres some code that we use though for compatibility testing (IIRC - this
one
is a heavily modified version of something in the IIUG software
repository) :

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.p...12&view=markup

It takes one or two parameters

call aclfgl_dump_screen("filename")

or

call aclfgl_dump_screen("filename",mode)

where mode is an integer :

0 = Dump character and first 8 bytes of attribute
1 = Dump just characters
2 = not used...
3 = use curses scr_dump function call

As it stands, the function automatically appends '.infx' to the filename....

Check ou tmy package, 4gltools_ak, in the IIUG Software Repository 4GL
section. You want the 4GL callable function fgl_prtscr.c in that package.

Try "CALL cu_screen_dump()". DBSCREENOUT must be set. Works in c4gl.
Completely unsupported!
