sendDataToClient

session.sendDataToClient( String key, Object value ) (enterprise edition only)
Description
When screen-scraper is invoked from an external application, this causes data to be sent back to the client while the scraping session is still in process. This isn't currently supported in all drivers (i.e., remote scraping sessions), so check the documentation page for your paticular language to see if it is. This method can be especially useful in cases where a relatively large set of data is to be extracted, where otherwise the data would been to be stored in memory or cached so that it could be accessed after the scraping session completed. The types of objects that can be sent include Strings, Integers, DataRecords, and DataSets.
Example
// Causes the current DataRecord object to be sent to the client
// for processing.
session.sendDataToClient( "MyDataRecord", dataRecord );
