Hi,
My Requirement is to create two Threads.
Thread 1
Will check the users keyed input from A to B and 1 to 9. (Because by default only PF keys will intiate the program)
Thread 2
If the user inputs 'IDENT' in the column 8 then, a small POp window is required to be apperaed to show 'Identification Division' and so on having IDENT as prefix....
But during that time the user can also input more in the dataset. This will be taken care by the Thread 1.
I googled the same and didnt find any informativly. I am new to Thread concept in REXX. Please help anyone to know some more information about the Thread concept in REXX. |

Since ISPF does not provide a multi-thread environment at user Session level,
what you are dreaming about on the mainframe can not happen.
now, on the pc, yes, but you need to use an OO version REXX. |

Hello,
You have a solution in search of a reuirement. There are many million rexx routines that do no have to have this. I suspect that what you actually want to accomplish can be done (has been done) otherwise also.
Why can the "user" not simply toggle between screens. . .  |

Hi,
Actually I intended that, the pop up window should be populated automattically without pressing any PF keys....
My Req is I would like to develope some Cobol Editors like Eclipse where it helps to populates all obj names for a class or it populates all mthods in that obj... etc...
similar to that, If we press IDEN it should show IDENTIFICATION DIVISION. Also If I press Perform 1000- if that para exists then it should populate the para name. so that user can free from typing....
Please let me know if any ways are there to do this task... |

what a waste of time and resources 
it would be wiser to meditate on the skills needed ( or rather the lack of them )
for such a challenging and USELESS project/requirement

a yes/no question deserves a yes/no answer...
yes, there are ways, as long as You have the skills needed
control display, dynamic panel areas, quite a few other alternatives
as long as the logic and presentation requirement are clear!
the net is rich of examples using pop up, dynamic areas and friends! |

An interesting idea, but will not work under TSO. Until you hit ENTER (or other AID key) the system has no idea where the cursor is. The best you could do is have the user hit a PFK which would trigger your lookup function. The function would determine the word that the cursor is on; from that it could display a popup window that is populated based on the word that the cursor is pointing to. |

I do not recall this being said recently...
The 3270 emulator that you use to connect to the mainframe is software that is pretending to be hardware for a 3270 terminal. You are limited by the hardware capabilities from the 1970's. That is why you cannot do some of the modern functions that you want to do.
But you can get products such as Rational Developer for Z that probably already do what you want. Instead of using an emulator, they have code that runs on Windows communicating through TCP/IP with a server running on z/OS. |
