We run our system from PC's to UNIX via thin and would like to capture Print screens to the local machines desktop. Can someone help me with the @[DISPLAY] command?

Below is what I have and I can't seem to make it create the file locally on the desktop. This works fine on the UNIX box but moving the images back and forth across the network takes time and we wanted to save and print the file locally.

We are sure it is something simple but we just can't seem to find it.

Thanks for any help

MOVE SPACES TO WS-FILE-NAME.
STRING "@[DISPLAY]:/"
"PRINTFORM.BMP"
DELIMITED BY SIZE
INTO WS-FILE-NAME.

CALL "W$BITMAP" USING
WBITMAP-CAPTURE-IMAGE
WS-FILE-NAME

    Unfortunately there is no mechanism to leave the file on the client as of yet, you may propose it as an enhancement request.

    Or, you can make the screen capture direct to the clipboard and use COM to launch for instance Word and get the image from the clipboard and run a print.
