Re: PC Com Port data capture....

The fancy way is to to execute a "DEV-ATT port" and use SEND and GET to
communicate with your program. It can be either a phantom process, or one
running on a dedicated terminal (if you want to watch what is going on.).
This method doesn't use a license seat.

The non-fancy method is to write a program using INPUT statements, and set
up a login that starts the program when the user logs in. Your application
simply accepts data from the other end of the serial line via an INPUT
statement (using either INPUT X,n or a carraige return). Then just remotely
log on the line and wait for data to be received. This method is also very
easy to test; just run the program, type in what you'd expect to receive
from the client and see if it works.
