Database functions in Display Emulation clients and in macros
As an alternative to the Database On-Demand client, almost all
of the functions that are available in the Database On-Demand client
are now also available in the display emulation client, including
the following session types:
- 3270 Display session
- 5250 Display session
- VT Display session
You can also use SQL statements and File Upload statements in macros in display emulation client sessions (see SQLQuery action (<sqlquery> element)).
For example, while you are connected to a remote host in a 3270 Display session, you can launch a macro that automatically reads data from the 3270 Display session window and writes the data into a table in a database that is located on another remote host. Similarly, you can launch a macro that automatically reads data from a table in a remote database and writes the data into the 3270 Display session window.
