HLLAPI reference
Gallagher & Robertson Glink: API reference manual 201
DisableHide=TRUE
When set to TRUE, this tells the HLLAPI functions never to hide the Glink
window. This can be useful when setting up and testing a HLLAPI application
so as to be able to visually follow the execution of the host dialog.
The [shortname] sections
The HLLAPI ‘shortname’ is a letter from A-Z. The first site must be [A], the
second [B] and so on.
Inside the site-specific sections (and the [Default] section, which supplies
values that will apply for all connections) the following directives may be used:
Directive Description
Name
This is the text found in the Glink title bar (minus the
“GLINK – “ part) when the config file is loaded.
This allows HLLAPI to connect to active Glink
windows. E.g. If the Glink title was “GLINK –
myibm.host.com”, then this directive would be
Name=myibm.host.com
Config
The configuration file to use for this connection
name. Normally not required because it has already
been specified in the [Connections] section, but
provided for those hosts that do not appear there.
ConnectCommand
The script command to use to connect to the host.
Appropriate commands are NETCONNECT (de-
fault), CONNECT, DIAL, and MANDIAL.
ConnectScript
The script file to run when the initial connection to
the host is made. If specified then it will override any
ConnectCommand directive that might have been
specified.
Disconnect-
Command
Specifies a script command that will be executed at
disconnect time.
Disconnect-
Script
Specifies a script to run at disconnect time. If present
this directive overrides any DisconnectCom-
mand directive that might have been specified.
