Hi, I've been using the Rumba ODBC driver to allow .NET windows service application to receive and send data to AS/400 over an ODBC connection but getting below error but same code works for .NET window application. We have ensured that the Windows service runs as same user used to run the windows application. Can you please help? Thanks#Rumba

Yes. I'm using Rumba 7.4. No, I don't have a choice in the matter. Please help me automate this crone.   Here's what I got: Dim RowNum As Integer tmpStr="" MsgAsk "What Row to read?", RowNum, 1 Dim ShipDate As String EMReadScreen Readout 8, RowNum, 33 ShipDate = Readout DlgStart DlgTitle "Reads" DlgItemType "The screen says" & ShipDate & "on row" & RowNum & "." DlgInquire DlgEnd   Error on the line "EMReadScreen Readout 8, RowNum, 33"; looks like I can't use a variable to set the row it's reading? Can anyone help?#Rumba

We have a Visual Basic 6 screen scraping application that was running in windows XP that I recently upgraded to VB.net running in Windows 7.  I have Rumba 9.5 running on my workstation and I am using the WdMFDsp.Ocx from that version in my new code with the same parameters as in the old code.  When I step through the .Net code, the pop form for the telnet does not appear and there is no connection to our mainframe.  I am using Visual Studio 2017 Community version.   Any suggestions on how I would resolve this? Thank you.#Rumba

Hello - My organization uses Rumba version 7.5.1 and i am trying to write a VBA macro to connect Microsft Excel to Rumba so that i can copy/paste information to/from Excel and rumba. Here is the code i used - Private Declare Function WD_ConnectPS Lib "Ehlapi32.dll" (ByVal hInstance As Integer, ByVal ShortName As String) As IntegerPrivate Declare Function WD_CopyFieldToString Lib "Ehlapi32.dll" (ByVal hInstance As Integer, ByVal Position As Integer, ByVal Buffer As String, ByVal Length) As IntegerPrivate Declare Function WD_CopyStringToField Lib "Ehlapi32.dll" (ByVal hInstance As Integer, ByVal Position As Integer, ByVal Buffer As String) As IntegerPrivate Declare Function WD_Sendkey Lib "Ehlapi32.dll" (ByVal hInstance As Integer, ByVal KeyData As String) As IntegerPrivate Declare Function WD_SetCursor Lib "Ehlapi32.dll" (ByVal hInstance As Integer, ByVal Position As Integer) As IntegerPrivate Declare Function WD_SetSessionParameters L

So I'm learning Rumba for my job, and the reference materials are sparse garbage (and MicroOffice's wiki is negligent on Rumba). I've been getting by learning from recordings, trying vba, and sometimes getting answers from others' questions here; now I need to ask my own. I need to pull a date from Rumba, and 30 days, and spit the new date back out. This is what I tried to use: *********************************** Dim Shipdate, ETAdate As Date EMReadScreen Readout,8,11,33 Shipdate = Readout ETAdate = DateAdd("d",30,ShipDate) *********************************** Unfortunately, Rumba 7.4 doesn't recognize the DateAdd function.   I then tried a much more convoluted attempt to convert the day, month, and year to integers, add 30 and adjust month/year when necessary with ifs. I got it to work, but couldn't get it to return the "mm/dd/yy" format that I got the initial ShipDate in.   HELP?!

What is the correct way to send an escape character to the emulator?  I've tried Ascii(27) and "@".  The documentation doesn't list anything for ESCape#Rumba

Hi , I am writing a script to open a simple rumba session and EM send some commands. I use Rumba 9.4. and I read an earlier thread about the issue with Rumba 9.4 with using EMSetTN3270 and EMStartSession commands ( Not-able-create-rumba-session) . The alternative provided was to open the session via the shell command . So I used the shell command and was able to successfully open a session. The when executing the EMWaitText command, I get the follow error codes: NM_ResultCode - 13NM_ResultText  - Error connecting to host session - %s What am i doing wrong here ?  #Rumba

I use Rumba macros to run smoke tests in my different test environments. The last macro command for each environment is a Message command to pause the macro and identify the region so I have time to see the results. Rumba 8.2 just blows right past the message without ever displaying the dialog box so I can't tell which region I'm looking at without counting them as they go by. Is anyone else having similar issues? Is there any known plan to fix the macro processing? I'm also having an issue where the lower left corner of the window doesn't refresh. Not a constant problem, but frequent. I have tried adding a toolbar button to execute a macro. I can't add a button for for one of my own macros. I added a run macro button attempting to add a custom macro button, but there is no delete function to remove the extra button.

How does the Rocket web emulator connect to a client’s mainframe computer? Does this software require that an EXTERNAL Rocket server (located in the CLOUD or somewhere else) must be configured with appropriate firewall and network changes on the client’s network infrastructure in order to connect to the secure location that hosts the client’s mainframe? Or does this browser-base software get installed within the client’s browser system on the client’s PC and then relies on the client to configure the connection to the client’s mainframe?

I have an idea from improvement… How can I submit a requirement to Bluezone developers.

I am using Rumba Unix 9.4.1 on Windows 7 Pro Enterprise in conjunction with  a process automation tool that sends keystrokes and scrapes the Rumba screen as well per the automation script I developed.  I would like to know how this is being done.  I thought it was HLLAPI but now I have to wonder if it might be DDE?  First, I launch an emulator with a shortname of "X".  Then I launch the automation tool but don't start the script.  I use "listdlls" at this point and there is no HLLAPI DLL listed being used by the tool.  I then start the script and after "Detect Emulators", listdlls shows "ehlapi32.dll" is now being used by the automation tool.  I then step the script to where keystrokes are sent to Rumba (and displayed) at which point I use ListDlls to see what Rumpage.exe is using and to my chagrin no HLLAPI dlls are found.  Any idea how Rumba is communicating?   Thanks

My Reflections macro opens an Excel workbook and process all the data from it into a mainframe process.This all works just fine but one usability issue I have in redisplaying the Reflection's mainframe screen once i've made the Excel workbook visible.The macro is started from Reflections and when the macro after opening the Excel workbook it displays it (*.visible) and prompts the user to verify it is the correct workbook. The verification prompt is displayed via a msgbox() function however, this prompt displays on the Reflection's mainframe screen and the user cannot see it unless they manually switching to it. Note: this is still in testing and not a production macro as yet. I would think this is a very simple command/function to make the Reflection's screen visible but I've tried a number of ways only to error. How do I made the Reflection's screen visible or how do I get the prompt to display on the Excel screen?Any insights are appreciated!!

Hi Guys,first i want to say that i am new to both the reflection software and also vb6 and ActiveX. What i´m trying to do, is binding the IBM 3270 Terminal as an ActiveX Control into my vb6 application. Now i am a bit confused. I am using Reflection 16.1 and in the older VBA Guides (for Reflection 14.X) there are some examples for doing that. But in the newer Guide for 16.x, where they have a new attachmate library, i cant find any example or activeX control for binding it into my application.I have an ActiveX Control on my VB6 Application where i binded the Reflection for IBM Control. In my IDE, i have added the references: - "Attachmate_Reflection_Objects (1.0)" - "Attachmate_Reflection_Emulation_IbmHosts (1.0)"- "Attachmate_Reflection_Emulation_OpenSystems (1.0)" - "Attachmate_Reflection_Objects_Framework (1.0)"- "Reflection for IBM Control 1.0 Type Library"- "Reflection for IBM Sessions (16.1)"I have already

I've few programs written in VB6 which are using Rumba 9.3 to do screen scrape , these programs are running on Windows Server 2003 in production. Now we're moving to Windows Server 2016 and are thinking to migrate to Rumba's more current version because of Rumba 9.3 End of Service LifeCycle May 31,2018.   I have few questions - Which version of Rumba is compatible with windows Server 2016 and does it require to install on production server ? What do I need to install on my Development machine to work with Rumba ( may be 9.5.1 SP1) ? I'm using ObjectXMFDisplay Control ( WdMfDsp.Tlb) and few of its methods like Getscreen,  SendKeys etc.Currently I've Rumba Desktop 9.3.0 installed on my machine. Please let me know if you need more information. Thanks and hoping to get some direction.

HiI am trying to port a macro that we use in Reflection for Unix and OpenVMS to Reflection Desktop v16.1. The original macro is contained in a separate .r2w file from the main session .r2w file. In v14 I simply added a reference from the main session file to the macros session file from the Macros > Advanced > Refrences Menu.That menu is not there in V16 so can anyone help on how I achieve this now ? The documentation seems to indicate that I can still reference a macro from another session document. IT says to add the reference from within the references menu in the vba editor but I don't see the other file listed when I go there?#Reflection

I am attempting to automate keyboard entry and just want to make sure this is possible to do with DDE or must I use HLLAPI? One example of what I need to do is send a keystroke.  What is the DDE "Item" I should be using to send the data? Conversely, I would like to scrape the screen at various locations, or the entire screen would be acceptable as well. This would be enough to get me going.    Is there a list of the DDE Items?  I do not see anything in HELP.  I am using Rumba Desktop 9.4.1 SP0 Patch0 on a Windows 7 Enterprise Pro Workstation, 32-bit.#Rumba
