I'm posting this for a friend.... 1) What RS/6000 SNA services Application Program Interface should I use to communicate with an IBM 360 host. It is demanded by our customer that we use LU 2 NT 2.0 SNA communication. 2) Can I transfer a "communication channel" between different processes (not of the same parent); or can I leave the channel open for use by another process, even after the first process has died? This is required for my application to prevent the long time needed to login if the IBM system is loaded. I know that creating a server-process is one way to accomplish the above, but for various reasons I do not want to use them if another method is possible. Please email answers or suggestions to me, I'll forward them. Thanks, --- Rob Hulsebos == hulsebos@ine.philips.nl Philips Industrial Electronics PObox 218TQV3, 5600 MD Eindhoven, Netherlands.

(Hopefully an IBM-er can fill in...) The SSI offers EHHLLAPI, which is the same 3270 API used by the IBM PC 3270 Workstations....I am fairly sure that the Rabbit SNA code offers the same HLLAPI. Whatever package, this HLLAPI is highly recommended, it is fairly easy to use. >2) Can I transfer a "communication channel" between different processes > (not of the same parent); or can I leave the channel open for use by > another process, even after the first process has died? > > This is required for my application to prevent the long time needed > to login if the IBM system is loaded.
