One bot requires control of a mainframe session (IBM PCOMM software):
1)Open a session
2)Read/write data into a mainframe window/session.
3)Close the session
Did somebody implemented something like this? any documentation/sample projects that I can use?
Thank you.

Hi ,
Appian RPA can automate mainframe applications like IBM PCOMM using Windows Automation actions.
>>Open Application – to launch the PCOMM session file (.WS).
>>Interact with Element – to send keystrokes, read/write data via Automation ID or OCR.
>>Close Application – to end the session.
There’s no official sample project, but follow Appian’s Windows Automation module and inspect PCOMM screen elements using the Element Inspector or UIA Automation. Make sure the mainframe screen is not running in terminal-only mode
