I have an object opens with the click of a button to open a mainframe session in the background. I am scrapping data from the screen to the clipboard and then pasting it to a text box on the form.

When the object is opened this way, is there a way that I could use the same object for other button clicks?

here is the code for opening the object

oextra=createobject("Extra.system")
wait nowait timeout 1
osession=oExtra.sessions.open("C:\program files\E!PC\sessions\a.edp")
*osession.visible=.t.
wait nowait timeout 5
oscreen=osession.screen

oscreen.WaitHostQuiet [1000]
oscreen.sendkeys("A")
oscreen.WaitHostQuiet [100]
oscreen.sendkeys("")
oscreen.WaitHostQuiet [1000]
oscreen.sendkeys("fh21798")
oscreen.WaitHostQuiet [500]
oscreen.sendkeys("")
oscreen.WaitHostQuiet [500]
oscreen.sendkeys("ti5633")
oscreen.WaitHostQuiet [500]
oscreen.sendkeys("")
oscreen.WaitHostQuiet [1000]
oscreen.sendkeys("sp2a")
oscreen.WaitHostQuiet [100]
oscreen.sendkeys("")
oscreen.WaitHostQuiet [1000]
oscreen.sendkeys("h")
oscreen.WaitHostQuiet [500]
oscreen.sendkeys("")
oscreen.WaitHostQuiet [1000]
oscreen.sendkeys("b310bc553")
oscreen.WaitHostQuiet [100]
oscreen.sendkeys("")
oscreen.WaitHostQuiet [1000]
Q= OSCREEN.SELECT(3,41,3,60)
q.copy()


This opens a mainframe window and strips text to the clipboard.
I would like to click another button that would enter in a new part number and strip more data from the screen again.

I guess the question is how do I reference the object again from another command?

Thanks,
Brad.
