Hi,

We have a bunch of legacy TUI programs which we would like to integrate into our (under-development) J2EE environment.

By "integrate" I mean having a "menu page" (in J2EE) which will launch the TUI applications. 

The closest that we got to achieving our goal was by calling (from within a RUIHandler) a service which in turn calls the TUI program. The drawback

is that this last "call" requires a parameter to be passed, and our TUI programs are parameter-less "main".

Is there a way to use another statement (e.g. transfer) or a better way to accomplish our goal?

Hugs and thank you.

Hi,

There is no built-in way to invoke a TUI application from a RUI handler.

However, we have a BP, Synchrony Systems, that has an offering which can convert the TUI application into a RUI application running under WAS (as Java) and not require restructuring of the application.   You can keep the existing 3270 look and feel/PF keys (emulated in the RUI) or transform it into what you would consider a real Rich UI type application.   It uses the EGL UI Program model to implement it.

See the following website:    http://www.sync-sys.com/   and scroll down to see the "Fire Permit System" application.  This was an EGL 3270 application.

Thank you Mark,

Let's try other solutions.
