Copy text from/to the active screen buffer

 

The ScreenCopy tag will copy the text at fromRow and fromColumn in the active screen buffer or   Session Scratch Area to the location described by toRow, toColumn for length.

 

If you are working with attribute-based protocols (3270, 5250), remember to include any attribute bytes (to give bolding, for example).  A list of attribute bytes may be found in the Map Tag section
