This is an item on my wish list and a project that one could work on if one was looking for a mainframe project to implement. Sometimes people want to build something but they can't think of a project. Here it is.
COBOL can receive input from screens. So can REXX and CLIST. But, not C or Pascal. Before you say, it's not possible, I can think of several ways this could be implemented.
- An Assembly library, accessible from C and/or Pascal, that sends raw 3270 data stream commands.
- A C and/or Pascal interface to KICKS.
- A curses-like library. Curses can't be implemented correctly. But, if you make some assumptions, you could approximate it.
