I have a scrolling screen which I need to capture all the text data passing through the screen (report format). The problem is that the screen buffer only holds 33 screens, I need to capture much more data that that.
Does anyone know how to accomplish this using Macro Scheduler?
Thanks...

Hi wagnr,
Take a look at the blog and scroll down to "Select from a Drop Down List" to see how a similar problem was solved.
The basic idea is to replicate how you solve this problem when scrolling past the 33rd screen manually. Look at the behavior of the application when you reach that point. Does it ask you to press a special button? Does the scroll bar suddenly go back to the top? Then what do you do in response?
Does your script already give you the correct info for the 1st 33 screens?
Are you having problems with the scroll bars?
Hope this gives you a general idea of how to attack the problem. If not, describe to use how your scrolling screen behaves and some screen shots.
