IDz ships with a built-in (and free) 3270 Emulator

To launch it:

  • Right-click over an option in the Remote Systems view and select: Host Connection Emulator (HCE)
      • The action is available from your connection, MVS Files, a PDS, a PDS member, a Job, etc.
    • This will open your VTAM screen
  • Select your mainframe application; TSO, IMS, CICS, etc.
    • This is shop specific
  • Login – as per usual

Notes:
  • There are a few options shown in the video that are probably worth your time - 3270 Keys, etc.
  • HCE provides the ability to capture & playback keystrokes in Macros - not covered in this video
