Combining multiple 5250 screens via RAMP

Post by jtaljaard » Thu Sep 28, 2023 10:35 pm

We have about 3 5250 screens that are used to complete a single transaction (Point of Sale). How would one go about combining them into 1 single screen and then implementing it into RAMP/Visual Lansa to be displayed through VLF-One? Is this through means of a wrapper? Is there a document I can view that can assist with this type of scenario?

VLF-ONE RAMP has screen wrappers. This is what you would use to manage multiple screens.

You write a VL Form that interacts with the user and talks to the underlying screen. You can direct the screen navigation from the VL form at points that you choose.

The doco has a whole section on it.
