Automation (formerly known as OLE Automation) makes it possible for your application to manipulate objects implemented in another program such as QWS3270.

QWS3270 Automation is an Automation server (a type of COM server) that exposes its functionality through COM interfaces to other applications, called Automation clients. This exposure enables Automation clients to control certain functions by directly accessing QWS3270 objects and using the services these objects provide.

Through the COM Automation server QWS3270 allows you to automate much of it's functionality. Exposing Automation objects enables you to automate procedures by directly accessing the objects and functionality QWS3270 (the COM server) makes available.

By exposing application functionality through a common, well-defined interface, Automation makes it possible to build applications in a single general programming language like Microsoft Visual Basic instead of in diverse, application-specific macro languages.
