4129.0. "ACMS-tasks and DEC-forms with VB" by NETRIX::"[email protected]" (Arjan Sikkema & Mike Wiering) Wed Mar 19 1997 03:24

Hi all,

We are creating a new interface for an existing DEC-forms / ACMS program. It
will run in Visual Basic 4.0. We want to use the ACMS-tasks from the "old"
system, but we don't use DEC-forms anymore. Instead we are creating a
web-based interface with ASP (Active Server Pages).

Currently the main ACMS-task is started. It will end when the program is
finished. But during this task there is a lot of communication between ACMS
and DEC-forms performed by this main ACMS-task.

We want to start the main ACMS-task (with Visual Basic) and then "trap" the
communication meant for DEC-forms because we don't use DEC-forms, but we use
Visual Basic. So we want all things happening on the screen to go to Visual
Basic in stead of DEC-forms.

So, all current screen-things:

EXCHANGE WORK
   IS TRANSCEIVE FROM RECORD
   SENDING ...
   RECEIVING ...

will currently go to DEC-forms.

Is there a way to "trap" this from within Visual Basic?

Your help will be appreciated...

Greetings, Mike Wiering & Arjan Sikkema

    	You should take a look at the Desktop ACMS product.  It provides
    a way of interfacing non-character cell based terminals (PC's, MAC's,
    etc) to an existing ACMS system with little or no modifications to
    existing tasks.  The product descriptions can be found off of
    Digitals external web page (www.digital.com).
