Actually Kenneth, it is even simpler I think. The STRPCO command actually doesn't do anything (anymore). Just the STRPCCMD fails if you have not issued a STRPCO in advance. It is just client access that scans for what is in the stream on STRPCCMD and indeed scrapes the command and runs it and does an enter. As such it seems the screen has never been displayed.

Well first off that test screen you have is pretty cool :-)
Second it looks sort of like what we did for the scanner. So basically what it
does is this.
1) Sends the screen with a special command modeled after our scanner stuff.
2) if it does receive this and PCO is active then it will read the screen and
not display it. Even sending an Enter key afterwards could be. Would actually
need to sniff the interaction but I think that is what it does.
3) If it is not active just display the screen like it says. Basically turning
on and off the scanner by a 5250 screen command. This stops other emulators
from continuing.
Very simple indeed. The solution was elegant.
Like I said in one of the previous messages to Pete. It is not the 5250 data
streams themselves but how the client interprets and manipulates what is there.
Now that is cool!!!

Kenneth
