Example
This sample navigates to the "Edit - Entry Panel" screen on the Reflection IBM3270 demo and writes some text on the last screen. It waits for the cursor to appear at a specific location on each screen before entering any commands on that screen. To run this sample, create a 3270 session and set the Host name / IP address to demo:ibm3270.sim. Then paste this code into a VBA module and run the macro from the login screen. 
Sub NavigateWithWaitforCursor1()
    'Declare terminal, screen, and rcode variables:
    Dim terminal As Attachmate_Reflection_Objects_Emulation_IbmHosts.IbmTerminal
    Dim screen As Attachmate_Reflection_Objects_Emulation_IbmHosts.IbmScreen
    Dim rcode As ReturnCode
 
    Set terminal = ThisIbmTerminal
  
    'Get a handle to the Screen object and navigate to the screen we
    'want to enter the data on
    Set screen = terminal.screen
  
    'Navigate to the screen
    rcode = screen.SendControlKey(ControlKeyCode_Transmit)
    
    rcode = screen.WaitForCursor1(2000, 23, 1)
    rcode = screen.SendKeys("ISPF")
    rcode = screen.SendControlKey(ControlKeyCode_Transmit)
  
    rcode = screen.WaitForCursor1(2000, 2, 15)
    rcode = screen.SendKeys("2")
    rcode = screen.SendControlKey(ControlKeyCode_Transmit)
  
    rcode = screen.WaitForCursor1(2000, 11, 18)
       
    'Put some text into a field on the last screen
    rcode = screen.PutText2("Finished", 5, 18)
