ACS 5250 Plugin screen history allow save as images

The screen history seems like a good idea but once you attempt to copy the history image you only get textual values from the screen. We would want to use the actual image of the screen.

Please provide the ability to change the screen history so that it captures full size JPG or PNG images of the screens navigated to.


Use Case:

When the user opens the screen history and then navigates around in the 5250 product an image appears in the history time line. This looks like it a newer version of the STRSCNCPY tool.

From the 5250 menu select View then Screen History.

    We have future enhancements planned for Screen History, but we will not be providing a way to save the screens as an image that can be directly transferred to a word processing tool.
