We use Transact/iX and it's debugger and not COBOL, but I believe the
techniques must be similar.

We hook both the network and a serial line from the HP3000 to a PC and with
a windows terminal emulator, we can then have a networked session and a
serial session (2 windows). Running from the networked connection, the
serial connection can then be considered a dumb terminal and used to
redirect displays or the VPLUS screens etc.

Subject:        How to debug VPLUS program without dumb terminal?

<<File: ATT00001.txt>>
I used to debug a COBOL program with VPLUS screens with a dumb terminal.
But these day there is no dumb terminal anymore. I asked many people abo
ut it, and nobody was able to answer the question. Any guru on the net c
an answer this question?

Thanks a lot,
