Data Stream Translation APIs

The data stream translation APIs allow your user-written applications access to the data stream translation routines for 5250, 3270, and formatted buffer display data streams. Only display device data streams are supported by these APIs. For more information about display data streams using formatted buffers, see the SNA Upline Facility Programming Link to PDF manual.

For additional information, see Using the Data Stream Translation APIs.

The data stream translation APIs are:

End Data Stream Translation Session (QD0ENDTS) ends a session for data stream translation.
Start Data Stream Translation Session (QD0STRTS) starts a session for data stream translation.
Translate Data Stream (QD0TRNDS) translates a data stream in one format to another format.
