Saa Cooperative Processing: Mainframe to PC Connectivity

The purpose of this book is to introduce the concepts of co-operative processing and to explain in concrete detail the SAA mechanism for writing such applications in a way that both the PC and mainframe programmer will be able to understand, and to give them an appreciation at least of how it is done in the other environment. This mutual understanding is the essence of SAA. This is a very practical and usable programmers guide to APPC (Advanced Program to Program Communications detailing how the various SAA (System Application Architecture) platforms implement this architecture.
