HLLAPI and HCON

ITEM: RS4000015369



Question........:                                                               
                                                                                
We would like to know if there is a way to intercept the 3270 buffer            
received from host by a program using HCON via HLLAPI                           
without (this is a MUST) showing it on the display.                             
The application program must be able to process the content of the              
buffer and, depending on its data, must decide either to display it or          
to discard it.                                                                  
                                                                                
Thanks in advance for your support.

New question:                                                                   
Unfortunately the "3270 HOST CONNECTION PROGRAM 2.1 AND 1.3.2 FOR AIX"          
Guide is not detailed enough: we need to capture the datastream sent            
by host to handle it by application and then decide if we want to               
display                                                                         
it on video or to print and discard it. Is this possible?                       
Can you please help us? It's impossible for us to call you at                   
800-CALLAIX but if you send us a vnet address we can send                      
you a note if you prefer. Thanks a lot. Best regards, Marina.

Because of the type of item this is, the hcon l3 group couldn't                 
enter the response directly, but I spoke with them.  There is not               
a way using hllapi, g32, or hcon to intercept the data before it                
appears on the user's 3270 screen.  The only way to do that with                
an IBM AIX product is to write your own 3270 emulator with the SNA              
LU2 api.  For more information on the LU2 api, please refer to                  
SNA Server for AIX Transaction Program Reference, pub number                   
SC31-8112.  Thanks.

Question........:                                                               
                                                                                
We would like to know if there is a way to intercept the 3270 buffer            
received from host by a program using HCON via HLLAPI                           
without (this is a MUST) showing it on the display.                             
The application program must be able to process the content of the              
buffer and, depending on its data, must decide either to display it or          
to discard it.                                                                  
                                                                                
Thanks in advance for your support.                                             
Regards

The HLLAPI/HCON function support are all described in the HCON manual

Reference. Chapter four (High level language application programming            
interface) convers all the functions in detail. Functions relating              
to "Presentation Space" would be of the most interest to you.                   
Also there are third party software that allows you similar features.

New question:                                                                   
Unfortunately the "3270 HOST CONNECTION PROGRAM 2.1 AND 1.3.2 FOR AIX"          
Guide is not detailed enough: we need to capture the datastream sent            
by host to handle it by application and then decide if we want to               
display                                                                         
it on video or to print and discard it. Is this possible?                       
Can you please help us? It's impossible for us to call you at                   
800-CALLAIX but if you send us a vnet address we can send                       
you a note if you prefer. Thanks a lot. Best regards, Marina.

Because of the type of item this is, the hcon l3 group couldn't                 
enter the response directly, but I spoke with them.  There is not               
a way using hllapi, g32, or hcon to intercept the data before it                
appears on the user's 3270 screen.  The only way to do that with                
an IBM AIX product is to write your own 3270 emulator with the SNA              
LU2 api.  For more information on the LU2 api, please refer to                  
SNA Server for AIX Transaction Program Reference, pub number                    
SC31-8112.  Thanks.
