I need to write a small program to capture data off a 3270 line.
It simply has to send some character, read specific locations
from the screen, and be able to detect the "BUSY" indicator.
 
When I patch into the system via a vt100 with tn3270, I do not
have access to the BUSY indicator at the bottom.  Since the
system may hang for a few minutes, I can not tell the program to
wait  x seconds and continue.  I need to prgram a
WHILE BUSY  WAIT  loop.
 
Any help would be appricated.
