I'd like to access data on an IBM host from a RS/6000. Host and RS/6000 are
connected via SNA.

I need the data in an application running on the RS/6000. The only way to do
this is to emulate 3270 in this application.

How can this be done? Is there an APPI?

There are apparently programs available to accomplish this.

However, I am not familiar with what is avaiable for the RS/6000.

For HP-UX systems, a product called SNAP-IX is available.  It does full
3270 programmatic (transparent or non-transparent) emulation.  Also 
provided is the "standard" HLLAPI interface which allows programmatic
keystroke capability.

I don't if it is available for the RS/6000.  There should be something
available, especially since you are talking IBM-to-IBM.

IBM's x3270 3270 emulator for X windows includes a HLAPPI library
for getting stuff out of 3270-based applications. We had it for a
trial on Suns and liked it pretty well, but couldn't afford to
keep it.

I played a little bit with the HLAPPI stuff, and it seemed
workable, if a little arcane. X3270 is available for Suns, HP
7xx's and RS/6000s.
