A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Telnet TN3270 Enhancements Working Group of the IETF. Title : Open Host Interface Objects Author(s) : T. Brawn, S. Gunn Filename : draft-ietf-tn3270e-ohio-01.txt Pages : 18 Date : 14-Apr-99 This draft addresses the need for a common, advanced, client programming interface to mainframe host data. Application developers, in particular third party application vendors, use API's provided by client emulator programs to write applications that access host data. Currently, the defacto standard HLLAPI is the interface most commonly provided by these programs and the one used by the third party application vendors. However, HLLAPI is plagued by the fact that it doesn't exploit modern programming techniques and is fragmented by multiple, proprietary implementations. Client vendors have, over the last couple of years, developed more advanced interfaces that exploit modern programming advances. However no effort has been put into standardizing these interfaces and application developers have been forced to either chose to stay with HLLAPI or perform costly re-implementation of their products to support each competing advanced client API.

A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-tn3270e-ohio-01.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
