Automation Objects

The Host Access Class Library Automation Objects allow Z and I Emulator for Windows to support the Microsoft COM-based automation technology (formerly known as OLE automation). The HACL Automation Objects are a series of automation servers that allow automation controllers, for example, Microsoft Visual Basic, to programmatically access Z and I Emulator for Windows’ data and functionality. In other words, applications that are enabled for controlling the automation protocol (automation controller) can control some of Z and I Emulator for Windows' operations (automation server).
Note: The Automation Objects provided by HCL Z and I Emulator for Windows are 32-bit in nature. These can be used only with 32-bit Microsoft Office programs.

See Host Access Class Library Automation Objects for details on the Automation Objects layer.
