Abstract
A method in a computer system, having a client, a server and a host, is disclosed which provides access to host-based legacy screen applications. The method includes the steps of receiving a stream of data representative of the legacy screen application from the host in response to a request by the client for data fields. Next, the data stream is parsed into its constituent elements. The constituent elements are then matched with a recognition file for the screen application. The results of the preceding step are used for retrieving a type library, which stores field information for the screen application. After this, the constituent elements are associated with data names that are stored in the type library. Finally, field objects are created based on the information retrieved from the type library and stored in the server, thereby providing access to them by the client.
