First off, I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask for this type of help (if so, please let me know where to ask).
I have been tasked with converting our 3270 terminal emulator testing scripts (VISTA terminal emulator) to DEVOPS Rational Function Tester scripts.
I have been able to convert most of them by using the "Record a Functional Test Script" and the "Insert Verification Point into Active Functional Test Script" UI functions and seeing what is generated.
However, I have now run into the situation where the test script needs information about the field values displayed on the screen.
The VISTA test scripts know the location, length, and value for each field that needs to be tested.
However, I have not been able to figure out how to generate these tests without having to do the manual user interface process.
Another problem that I have run into the situation where the test script needs information that is displayed not in a fixed position but somewhere on the screen (think "TSO" 'READY' prompt which can be on any line depending on messages displayed).
Also, as far a verification points go, how do I check to see if the values is one of several valid values and if not, the throw an error.
I have searched for documentation on how to do these using the DevOps UI (as well as trying various options in the 'Object Binder' process) but am unable to find what I need to do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
