Welcome to ETU
ETU is a host software package that allows you to transfer files between
an IBM AS/400 host computer and one or more microcomputers that are
emulating an IBM 5250 display station.
What ETU Can Do for You
The purpose of ETU is twofold: to transfer data and to translate data.
Data transfer entails the movement of data between two systems.
Data translation changes the way the data is represented or stored so
that the same data can be used by two different systems. More
specifically, with ETU, you can:
• Transfer data between your microcomputer and the AS/400;
• Transfer data from one microcomputer to another microcomputer of the
same type;
• Transfer user-specified fields or records between the host and the
microcomputer;
• Transfer a single host file to as many as ten microcomputers with one
command;
• Translate files to and from the following microcomputer formats: ASCII
TEXT, BASIC Sequential, DIF, and TAB;
• Create, rename, test for existence of, and delete files on the micro
while running 5250 emulation from the microcomputer;
• Use the host for off-line storage of microcomputer files.
