Working in emulation sessions Exchanging data

7.3 Exchanging data

The use of modern terminal emulations on PCs allows data to be exchanged

between host applications and PC applications and data to be reprocessed

using user-friendly Windows applications. MT9750 offers a number of options

for managing data exchange:

– Via the clipboard (copy and paste)

– Using the DDE mechanism (only with Windows applications that support

DDE)

– Via a separate DDE interface (with separate DDE applications – you can find

information on creating separate DDE application programs in the Program-

mer Reference Guide)

7.3.1 Copying and pasting screen data

Copying and pasting of data relates to data within the session window. Data

within the session window is referred to as screen data in the following descrip-

tion. Using the functions of the Edit menu item, you can select all or part of the

screen data and then copy and paste it.

7.3.1.1 Copying screen data

Screen data can be copied to one of the following targets in part or in full:

– To the clipboard

– To a file

– To a printer

Screen data can only be copied if you have already marked a screen area in the

active session window.

Invisible and non-printable text (e. g. a password) remains invisible after

copying to guarantee data security. Note that only the characters them-

selves, i.e. no attributes (e.g.underscore, bold), are copied and not all

BS2000 characters can be displayed.

You can choose between copying all or part of the screen data.
