The request for design Change in HATS to synchronize macro actions with the corresponding screens (threads synchronization)

Host Access Transformation Services (HATS) is used as an interface to the client's mission-critical core banking systems (SMILE) running globally on System i. HATS start some macros before the corresponding screens settle, which causes the wrong values get entered in the wrong fields or positions. Also in spite of the specified coordinate data, sometimes the wrong off-set values are used in the wrong screen. We request the design change in HATS to synchronize macro actions with the corresponding screens, or at least setting the correct offset values in the case of the not-corresponding screens.

    Not considering this. Rejecting the RFE due to age, and/or we do not have plans to implement this.
