Sample JScript

This script is designed to be used with BlueZone for the desktop. The script launches an already existing BlueZone iSeries (AS/400) configuration called iseries.zad, navigates to the end user's job log, and writes 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 and name it anything you want. Save the file with a .js 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 menu bar.
Locate the script you just created and highlight it and click Open.
The script appears in the BlueZone Script Host and Debugger main window.
Create a BlueZone configuration that connects to your iSeries host and be sure to enable the DDE interface.
Name the configuration iseries.zad.
Replace username and password in the script below with a valid user name and password.

// Sample JScript using BlueZone Host Automation Object
 
// This sample script will run a BlueZone session and then 
// logon to an iSeries host and write the Job Log to the disk 
// file C:\JOBLOG.TXT.
 
// Instantiate a handle to BlueZone Host Automation Object
host = new ActiveXObject( "BZWhll.WhllObj" )

// Timeout and return error if no signon screen after 30 seconds
// Continue with script execution after host sends 1 screen paint
