3.  SNA 3270 HLLAPI and SNA 3270 API

3.1  Description

     Many customers require programmatic access to 3270-based IBM appli-
cations.  3270 API and HLLAPI allow them to write programs that appear
as 3270 terminals to IBM applications.  3270 HLLAPI and 3270 API provide
similar functionality, except the HLLAPI interface is more standard.

     HP has a 3270 API special product for qualified accounts.

     SSI is porting 3270 HLLAPI to Series 400 systems using the RTI card
and SASsbx module.  A portation to NIO-based Series 800 systems is being
considered.
