Sample VBScript Script

This script is designed to be used with BlueZone for the Desktop.  The script will launch an already existing BlueZone iSeries (AS/400) configuration (iseries.zad), navigate to the End User's Job Log, and write the contents of the Job Log to a file and store it in the following location:

C:\JOBLOG.TXT

 

To modify and use the script, create a text document, name it anything you wish, and save it with a .vbs file extension.  Copy and paste the entire script into the document you just created.  Copy the script into the BlueZone \scripts folder.

Launch the BlueZone Script Host and Debugger program.  Select File:Open from the MenuBar.  Locate the script you just created and highlight it and click the Open button.  The script will now be presented in the main window.

In order for the BlueZone Host Automation Object to communicate with a BlueZone Display emulation session, you must enable BlueZone's DDE interface.
