Interaction of UiPath with black and white screen developed in Cobol

[csanjuan33 (Carlos Arturo Sanjuan Santos)]

I want to interact with a black and white screen application, developed in Cobol, and I need the support of the community to know what problems they have had in this type of interaction?

Could I really interact with this screen developed in Cobol ?, If it is a yes, What activities or packages of UiPath Studio recommend for the interaction with the black and white screen, developed in Cobol?
