Yes, BTAM supported any contemporary 3270 except SDLC. However, MCS could not use BTAM for a 3270. From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List on behalf of Mike Shaw Sent: Tuesday, July 25, 2023 9:47 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Ignorant z/OS

I used BTAM to read and write 3270 data streams to a locally attached 3270 back in the early 80's. It was simple to code and worked well. Mike Shaw MVS/QuickRef Support Group Chicago-Soft, Ltd. On Tue, Jul 25, 2023, 8:43 AM Mark Jacobs < 0224d287a4b1-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.edu> wrote: >

BTAM? I remember that MCS on OS/360 used BTAM to support a 2740, but I never saw one used in the flesh, and, IAC, it's long dead. IS BTAM/SP still a thing? IAC, another usful thing for the OP to read. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz http://mason.gmu.edu/~smetz3
