MacAPPC and/or MacWorkStation will not currently work with IBM's Application
System.
The IBM Application System is a 3270-based decision support tool, which runs
under the MVS and VM operating systems, and is IBM's high-level decision
support software product for business planning, statistical analysis, and
project management.
The IBM Application Sustem has extensions that allow direct access via DB2 and
SQL databases and other IBM products, such as Query Management Facility (QMF)
and Data Extract (DXT). However, it does NOT currently take advantage of
intelligent desktop devices.
IBM says that "the direction of future development of the Application System
product line is to provide support consistent with the need to use workstations
that may have local intelligence" (or, simply, "it doesn't do it now, but it
will someday.")
So, at present IBM's Application System supports neither LU6.2, IBM's flagship
peer-to-peer protocol, or 3270 API implementations.
