Audience

This manual is for anyone involved in 3270-type data communications between an HP 3000 and an IBM host. It is for any of the following types of users:

Interactive terminal users who use SNA IMF Pass Thru to access the host directly from a terminal attached to an HP 3000.
HP 3000 application programmers who use SNA IMF Pass Thru to help develop and debug their SNA IMF programs.
People responsible for training and supporting SNA IMF users.
HP node managers or HP 3000 system managers responsible for HP 3000 data communications. The HP 3000 SNA node manager is responsible for overall HP-to-IBM data communications.

Some portions of this manual apply specifically to users of Asian terminals and printers with double-byte characters sets (DBCS).

Each of these audience types should be familiar with the pertinent operating characteristics of the host system in an SNA environment and have a working knowledge of Multiprogramming Executive (MPE), the operating system for the HP 3000.
