Q:
Invoking a webpage from JDE World 7.3
There is a requirement wherein data which is on a JDE World screen should be passed to a web page when a function key is pressed. On pressing of the particular function key, data which is on the JDE World screen must be passed to and displayed on the web page.

I need ideas about how this can be implemented.

Why pass the data from the green screen to the web page? Why not just use something like CGIDEV2 or one of several commercial applications to display the data on a web page in the first place? You can set up Client Access to use hot spots to let people click on a link on your green screen app to launch the page or better yet, skip the green screen altogether and just give you users a link that they can use in their browser.

First, is this your in-house programming? (Is the source code available to you?) What OS version/release?

The mention of pressing of the particular function key implies that it would be in-house programming, but it’s a question that needs to be answered. Obviously, if all the source is available, the programming can be changed to cause it to do whatever a computer is capable of doing — and sending data to a web server or generating a web page is within capabilities. Determining the rational method is in the discussion.

If this is not in-house programming, it may still be possible to generate a web page from data on the screen, but it might be very tricky to link the action to a function key. (The attention key might be available though.)
