Rich UI screen and one not converted

I started to evaluate the software again and I would like to know if it is possible to call from a Rich UI program to one that is in green screen if you have both products Profound Ui and Genie. Will the second one be Web enabled on the fly by Genie?
Thx

Both are fully integrated now. If you have an old version, I would recommend updating to the latest from our website before proceeding with your new evaluation.

To make this work you must start the session in Genie. Here, of course, all of your screens will run with no special action required.

If a converted or newly developed PUI rich UI program is called in the job, it will automatically come up. If this application calls back to a 5250 screen, it will switch back over to that mode automatically.

The only special requirement to make all this work is that you have the PROFOUNDUI library on the library list of the Genie session job when the rich UI programs are called.

Could the initial program in the Genie session be a Rich Profound UI program?

Yes, it certainly can. If this were the case, though, you would need to do something to ensure that the PROFOUNDUI library is on the interactive job's library list before that initial PUI program started doing display file I/O operations.

This could be accomplished in a variety of ways, such as adding it to the QSYSLIBL or QUSRLIBL system value, adding it to a JOBD that is associated with the user profiles, or by having the initial program itself add it onto the list before display file I/O is done.
