Screen shot

Post by venky » Wed Sep 26, 2012 9:25 am

Hi All,

Is there is any possible to get screen shot from mainframe. Suppose 1-80 byte screen shot from a file and this screen shot should get in word document to our email id by submitting a Jcl.

Please help me if there is any way. Thank you.

Regards,
Venky.

No, I am not asking by using print screen button. Is there is any program or Jcl to get the screen shot by itself by mentioning positons from the file.

Please let me know whether there is any way to get like this. Thanks.

Regards,
Venky.

You have been here long enough to have learned the almost Nothing can be done by JCL alone. . .

What kind of "screen shot" do you want? Is it actually some data that is in spooled output and you want to send this in an e-mail. If you are looking to run some batch process to this, where/how do you access "a screen"?

It is quite unclear as to what you are really looking for.

If you explain more clearly what you want (maybe show a small example), someone may have a suggestion.
Have a good one

If I try to read between the lines, my take on your question would be - you want to execute some utility-program on mainframes using which you can mimic "Print Screen" functionality.

If so - this can not be done.

Venky,

if you are running dumb-3270's, as Anuj says: No way

if you are running an emulator on a desk-top or PC,
then you have to initiate the process with whatever scripting/macro process
that the emulator software has available.
It would be a windows process that would 'capture' the screen shot.
From there you (I suggest) utilitize the sever mailing system and send your email.
If you just gotta upload all this garbage to the mainframe,
there are those here who can advise.
