"5250 Emulation not loaded, verify that your API is loaded."

If your API is loaded and this message persists, contact your emulation

manufacturer to be sure you have the latest version.

The documentation included with your emulation software should provide

you with details about API.

NOTE: If you configure your emulator and API the way you would to run PC
Support/36, then IBMTRAN should work.

Starting ETU When Using IBMTRAN

Once you've copied IBMTRAN to your PC, follow these instructions to load

IBMTRAN into your PC's memory.

1. Load the emulator and establish a session with the host.

2. Hotkey to DOS (press ALT-ESC).

3. Run the IBMTRAN.EXE program on the PC. To do this, make current the

subdirectory containing the emulation software. Then type:

ibmtran

4. After the program loads, it automatically hotkeys back to emulation.

You can now run any ETU command.

Exiting IBMTRAN

After you load IBMTRAN on your PC, it remains in memory until you unload

it. To exit IBMTRAN:

1. Hotkey to DOS (press ALT-ESC). An intermediate screen displays, which

contains the following message across the bottom of the screen:

ETU is now active. ALT-ESC to return to emulation, ALT-BREAK to return to DOS.

2. Press ALT-BREAK to unload IBMTRAN.

This will unload IBMTRAN from memory, and leave you at the DOS prompt.

You can hotkey from DOS back to the host session and continue working

in emulation. Remember to load IMBTRAN again before you attempt

another ETU file transfer.

Alternative Method to Start and Exit IBMTRAN

You can also load IBMTRAN by typing ibmtran. This variation returns to
DOS, thus bypassing the intermediate screen described above. This may be

helpful for use in batch files where you want to perform a file transfer

and then exit out of IBMTRAN.
