Abstract
A technique, system, and computer program for run-time translation of procedurally-oriented Emulator High Level Language Application Programming Interface (EHLLAPI) calls into object-based host access calls (such as those provided with IBM's Host Access Control Library or the Open Host Interface Objects under development by the IETF), without requiring changes to the workstation EHLLAPI applications. This translation, in addition to generating the appropriate method invocation, reconciles the operational differences between EHLLAPI's sequential function call model and the event-driven approach used in the object-oriented model.
