SunAwtFrame vs PCOMM session adapter
We have a user group that accesses a mainframe application via an executable (WXF3270) using the SunAwtFrame in the exe a host session. The functionality seems to work for the user, but we can't inspect it. IBM's PComm works for us, but doesn't seem to have the functionality for "view" files as the SunAwtFrame...
Not sure how to proceed with attempting to correct or further diagnose. SPY++ sees the SunAwTFrame, but that's all it seems to be able to tell me..

OpenSpan's support for mainframe emulation is pretty limited; we have a list of emulators that we work with here: http://help.openspan.com/80/index.htm#Text_Adapters/Attachmate_Rumba_WRQ_Applications.htm
SunAwtFrame isn't on that list so I'm not confident that we would work with it. Your comment on the IBM PComm makes me think that with some configuration you could get close enough for functionality, but the people to ask about that would be Services.

Ya, I was afraid you were going to say that.. We did find someone on our side that has indicated they can get a PComm session working for us so we are back in business. It's also great to now have the list of supported text adapters Most appreciated...
