3.7 Running the HLLAPI Application

To run a HLLAPI application, you will require a 3270 display session with a session short name that matches each HLLAPI session identifier specified in the application. If necessary, modify your 3270 style file to include these session names.

To run the application, perform the following steps:

1. Start the 3270 emulation program with a style file that includes a session with the required short name.

2. Enable the 3270 session, and ensure that it reaches the status SSCP-that is, waiting for login at the host.

3. Perform any initial steps to get the session into the state expected by the HLLAPI application; for example, if the application does not perform an automated login to the host, then you need to do this yourself.

4. Use the TEMPEXIT keystroke to move to a temporary exit shell, or (Motif 3270 emulation program only) move to another window using the mouse, or login at another terminal with the same login ID as you used to run the 3270 emulation program.

5. Start the HLLAPI application by entering the executable file name that you specified when compiling and linking the application.
