Hello,

I am a novice ASP.NET programmer and a complete beginner with Mainframe accessing. Here is the situation:
My supervisors want me to find a way to create a web service that is an ASP.NET interface for a pre-existing Mainframe application. I am currently able to interact using screen scraping with the known position of the fields, but they want to be able to do a couple of things.

Interact with by the field name, not the position

Determine the attributes of a field.

The second option is not too bad, but it is not showing when a field is a different color (because of an error).

Any advice, direction, or some learning tools would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

when you say "Mainframe" you should be a bit more specific, there are systems from IBM, DEC, Burroghs and others that are very different in what they do and what you can do with them.

that aside, I would look into tools for screen scraping, or do you have one that is helping you now?
