    Please enlighten me on when this solution will be available.

    If not, do we have an alternative for screen scraping on IBM emulators?

    This was first requested three years ago - refer to idea https://ibm-power-systems.ideas.ibm.com/ideas/IBMI-I-2232

    It would be undesirable to have to move away from ACS to keep the macro functionality because IBM cannot supply a 64bit API.

    Can someone from IBM please comment on any planned timeline for this as we have to make some business decisions if this will not be available in the next 6-12 months.
