Sending and receiving data
When you have connected a CclOTerminal object to the required CICS® server
you can use the Terminal, Session, Screen and Field COM
classes to start a transaction on CICS and
navigate through 3270 panels, accessing 3270 fields as required by
the application.
EPI call synchronization types
The EPI COM classes
support synchronous ("blocking") and deferred synchronous ("polling")
protocols. The Visual Basic environment does not support the asynchronous
calls that are available in the C++ classes.
Support for Automatic Transaction Initiation (ATI)
Client applications can control whether ATI transactions
are allowed by using the setATI methods on the
Terminal COM class. The default setting is for ATIs to be disabled.
EPI Security
You can perform security management on servers that support Password
Expiry Management.
EPI CICS Server Information
The EPI COM class provides the names and descriptions of CICS servers
configured in the Gateway initialization file.
EPI COM classes
A table that lists EPI COM classes that the CICS COM
servers provide.
