PRODUCT NAME:
HP SNA Printer Emulator
for OpenVMS, Version 1.6
SPD 26.70.11
In an actual IBM 3287 environment, data transfer is one
way (from host to printer) and generates hard copy. The
PrE Access software will allow OpenVMS users to direct
the received output either to be printed via the Open-
VMS Print Symbiont or spooled to a disk file.
This SPD describes HP SNA Printer Emulator for Open-
VMS, which is available for the OpenVMS I64, Open-
VMS Alpha and OpenVMS VAX platforms. All informa-
tion applies to all platforms unless otherwise indicated.
DESCRIPTION
Features
HP SNA Printer Emulator for OpenVMS (PrE) is an
OpenVMS layered software product that allows suitably
configured OpenVMS systems to receive printable data
from IBM host-based applications. These applications
will originally have been developed to produce output for
an IBM 3287 printer in system mode that is connected to
an IBM 3274 cluster controller in a Systems Network Ar-
chitecture (SNA) networking environment. Access from
the IBM system to OpenVMS systems is via one of the
following SNA servers or gateways:
