I have been trying to use Java to connect to X3270 (actually, wc3270, since I'm working on a windows environment) and control it to access a mainframe, login, navigate a few screens and get the data returned from x3270's command "ascii" for further processing (like sep开发者_JAVA百科arating the needed fields).

Even if I can connect to x3270 and login into the server, I'm having trouble to reliably retrieve the screens from x3270 after sending a command, even using threads to read the socket continuously.

Can anyone tell me what I should be doing to get things right?

I cannot more highly recommend Jagacy 3270, a Java screen scraping library that's incredibly reliable and dead easy to use. I had tried rolling my own, and also both IBM HATS and IBM Host on Demand, and found Jagacy to be easy, quick, lightweight, and already done for me.

A full license isn't cheap, but was worth it to us.
