Unicorn Networking
	Assembler Communications and Infra-Structure Programming for IBM zOS

Problems connecting business applications on zOS? Need to extend application life times? Need to augment lost or uneconomic in-house assembler skills?

Unicorn Networking: Programming Solutions for zOS

Unicorn Networking develops and supports zOS applications and communication interfaces, whether these be for stand-alone business applications or imbedded within CICS, IMS or another transaction system. Our communications solutions cross platforms and operating systems allowing remote systems, devices and users to harness the processing power and I/O capabilities of IBM's Z series enterprise systems. We have extensive knowledge in both IBM's VTAM (native and APPC) and TCP/IP (HPNS and/or USS callable services) APIs.

• We can extend the life of your zOS applications or simplify the development of new applications through our bespoke multi-tasking multi-interface software solution environment "GATES". Use GATES to connect legacy applications to otherwise unsupported remote systems and devices.
• Use our REXX communications shell to develop simple in-house REXX procedures that can communicate across SNA and IP networks.
• Use GAIN to provide "out-of-the-box" TCP access to SNA LU6.2 services.
• We can work with you to investigate and develop bespoke software solutions to meet your exact requirements.
• IBM's NetView customization services include development of REXX procedures, REXX functions, Command Processors and Optional SubTasks.
• Infra-structure solutions are provided by coding system/API exits, coding REXX procedures and/or ISPF dialogues or developing unique business oriented REXX functions.

We are always ready to provide advice on technical communications issues through our consultancy services.
