iSeries Access for Windows PC5250 emulation APIs

The iSeries™ Access for Windows^® PC5250 emulator provides desktop users with a graphical user interface for existing iSeries applications. PC5250 allows users to easily and transparently interact with data and applications that are stored on the iSeries server.

PC5250 provides C/C++ application programming interfaces (APIs) for enabling workstation programs to interact with iSeries host systems.

iSeries Access for Windows PC5250 C/C++ APIs:

Emulator high-level language API (EHLLAPI): A simple, single-entry point interface that interprets the emulator screen.
Personal communications session API (PCSAPI): Use this interface to start, stop, and control emulator sessions.
Host Access Class Library (HACL): This interface provides a set of classes and methods for developing applications that access host information at the data-stream level.
