PASSPORT Host Integration Objects is a Windows-based legacy integration solution that lets you programmatically connect TN3270/TN5250 applications with other ActiveX or .NET applications. Offers a path to host information at the screen buffer level, allowing you to read and write data to the host, open and close sessions, send function keys to the host and much more. Includes the object components, documentation, test programs and source code.

* Direct access to host screen buffers
* Object-oriented API based on IETF OHIO draft
* Does not require terminal emulation software
* Proven TN3270 and TN5250 communications module
* Designed for a Microsoft Windows environment
* Offset addressing for host screen presentation space
* Simplified model for presentation space

Using Microsoft's Visual Studio Version 6 (VB, VC++, etc.) or Visual Studio.NET (VB, VC++, C# .NET, ASP .NET, etc.), you can create composite enterprise integration applications that require fast, reliable access to existing IBM 3270 or 5250 applications.
PASSPORT Host Integration Objects, based on the IETF OHIO draft, includes direct TN3270 and TN5250 connectivity to critical legacy applications using IP. Separate terminal emulation is not required for host access. Sample programs, documentation and a test program that demonstrates the use of each object Method, Property and Event are included.
