The iWay Emulation Adapter (3270/5250) captures mainframe 3270 or 5250 screens and their output to create a Java™ program, an XML file for a Remote Procedure Request (RPC) solution, or components for a web-based solution. This web-based solution can be used to replace green-screen displays with sophisticated user interfaces.

Using the adapter also enables you to invoke mainframe applications from non-mainframe environments, such as UNIX and Windows, without modifying the mainframe. You can have logic and data associated with legacy mainframe programs available to a new generation of applications.
