| Cleo3780Plus
provides full emulation of IBM 2780/3780 Remote Job Entry (RJE) stations through the
Binary Synchronous Communications (BSC) protocol. You get support for point-to-point and multi-point transfer, primary
and secondary operation, and a 20-character "terminal ID." But that's just
to start.
It's Cleo 3780Plus' many advanced features
and capabilities that set it apart from the other BSC RJE packages. |
With Cleo 3780Plus, you get complete IBM 2780/3780 BSC RJE
emulation...and more. |
| Unattended
Operation With Cleo
3780Plus, you can write simple scripts that run your batch transfer applications
automatically, at any time, with no user interaction required. You can, for example,
specify unattended transmissions at night or on weekends, when dial-up communications
charges are reduced. Whatever you do with Cleo 3780Plus interactively, you can also
do in unattended mode. That's because all of the software's commands are available
to you in the scripting language. Our scripting language supports
"branch" logic, allowing you to use "IF...THEN..." commands within
your scripts. You can even branch to other programs based on exit codes. |
Auto-Dial,
Auto Answer Cleo 3780Plus

Integrated Application Program Interface
We offer Cleo 3780Plus with an
optional Integrated Application Program Interface (IAPI), providing you with
block-by-block control over the data you transmit and receive. Our IAPI lets you
access data directly from the communications line, in real time, while preserving all of
Cleo 3780Plus' powerful file transfer capabilities.
Perpetual Log File
Cleo 3780Plus maintains a complete on-line
record of your 2780/3780 communications activities in its perpetual log file. This
handy tool allows you to review all past Cleo 3780Plus transactions - from your very first
session to the one you've just completed.
Modem Support
Cleo 3780Plus is designed for use with
almost any major external synchronous modem and selected internal modem boards.
Modems can be full or half duplex. Cleo works with short-haul modems, two or
four-wire leased lines, and standard dial-up telephone connections. Line speeds of
up to 38.4Kbos are supported. |
Flexible
Configuration Cleo 3780Plus
provides a wide range of configuration options, allowing you to fine-tune your
communications environment at any time - from session to session, or even within a
session. Configuration changes in one session can be stored to disk and re-used in
later sessions. This is specially useful in multi-host installations, where you may
use a different configuration for each host.
Custom Screens and
Messages
You can easily modify your Cleo 3780Plus
screens and messages, if your applications demand it. For example, you can translate
screens and messages to other languages for international use. Alternatively, you
can, disable any or all screen messages for seamless integration with your other
applications. You can even customize Cleo 3780Plus' ASCII-to-EBCDIC translation
tables, when required. |

Transmit Commands
- Binary (filename) With
the Binary command, you can send files to remote computers in transparent mode
with or without ASCII-to-EBCDIC character translation.
- Text (filename) The Text
command transmits text files to remote computers in non-transparent mode. Cleo
3780Plus handles ASCII-to-EBCDIC character translation automatically.
- Key (message) The Key
command transmits keyboard messages to remote computers during Cleo 3780Plus sessions.
- EOT The EOT command
transmits the EOT (End of Transmission) character to end a file transfer.
|
Receive Commands
- Receive (filename) The Receive
command receives transparent or non-transparent binary or text data to a disk file.
Cleo 3780Plus automatically determines whether or not the data should be translated from
EBCDIC to ASCII. No user intervention is required.
- Print (filename) With
the Print command, you can receive printer output to a file. You can then
use Cleo 3780Plus to spool this file to the printer. Cleo 3780Plus translates the
3780 printer escape codes to the correct actions.
- Screen The Screen
command displays non-transparent data to the screen.
|
Scripting Commands
- Job (filename) With the
Job command, you can create a new Cleo 3780Plus script, or you can scramble
or encode an existing script to protect sensitive information.
- Execute (filename) The Execute
command runs the Cleo 3780Plus script you specify. You can write scripts to allow
un-attended operation at any time. You might, for example, choose evenings,
weekends, or other non-peak hours, when communications charges are at their lowest.
- Branch You can use the Branch
command within a script to alter the flow of commands based on the previous command.
This enables you to create powerful scripts that respond to various communications
scenarios. With the Branch commands, jumping within the script can result
from a variety of conditions:
- Branch n status
- Branch on return code
- Branch on SIZE
- Branch on COUNTER
- Branch on TRUE
- Counter With the Counter
commands, you can initialize, increment, decrement, and display counter settings.
You can use Cleo 3780Plus' built-in counters to loop or retry a command a specified
number of times. This adds flexibility to your scripts.
- Sleep (seconds) The Sleep
command pauses the specified number of seconds before proceeding to the next command.
You can use this to provide pauses between commands, when required.
- Token (tokens) With the
Token command, you can set or display the value of the user-defined variables at
any time. You can also set tokens before executing Cleo 3780Plus. When you
use the Token command in your Cleo 3780Plus scripts, you gain the flexibility to
dynamically alter the flow of commands in response to varying communications scenarios.
|
Other Commands Config (filename) With the Config
command, you can interactively configure Cleo 3780Plus or load a previous saved
configuration setup.

can use the Monitor command to display or save to disk the protocol traffic
resulting from your Cleo 3780Plus sessions. This powerful tool helps you diagnose
any communications problem that may occur.

program without having to end your Cleo 3780Plus session. After you've completed
this processing task, you can return to Cleo 3780Plus to continue or end your Cleo
3780Plus session.
- Table (filename) The Table
command displays or loads previously-created translation tables. Cleo 3780Plus
automatically translates received data to ASCII and transmitted data to EBCDIC, when
appropriate. In some cases - for example, when you're working in languages other
than English - you may wish to modify other than English - you may wish to modify the
translation tables.
