Some Ideas i had: 1. Using a macro emulator that simulate a user which logon as a regular user, snap shot the screen display and parse the results on the open. 2. Using FTP exits in order to submit a job / moving a rexx to be ran under AXR etc... will this be a problem in your organization? Any other ideas would be appreciated...
