I'm not even sure whether I've framed this question correctly. Let me explain my situation.
I have an Application hosted in a OpenVMS environment which is being accessed via Telnet. I'm in need to programmatically accomplish certain tasks.
So far I could send and receive messages using a C# Telnet Client. I am able to execute tasks by sending commands and receiving responses. But for one task, I have to edit a Form to change some information. The command looks like below
>modify page <page_no>
As soon as I enter the above command, the entire terminal gets loaded with this Form, I have to use page-down to go through the fields, press enter to edit the text and use Ctrl-Z to save it.
I'm not sure how to accomplish this task programmatically.
I'm not familiar with telnet or VxWorks. I'm not sure the above is a feature of Telnet or OpenVMS. Kindly help.
This should be easy to figure out thanks to the clear text of telnet :D It shouldn't matter what platform your target is running. All you have to remember is that special keys like ctrl-z or page down, are just chars in the data stream. Ctrl-z is typically 0x1a, and I am not sure what page down is off the top of my head, but here is how you can figure it out:
Easy.
