I have the very same software as you and mine works. Are you using the
following options?
options remote=C comamid=ehllapi;
Where remote= is set to the session ID you assign to the Extra! Session
using the Extra! Global Preferences. This is critical. Connect won't
find your Extra session without this being properly defined and will
return an error that it cannot find HLLAPI. If you have this set
correctly and it still does not find HLLAPI, then you need to check to
see what HLLAPI DDL Extra! Is using. If not the default, it may be using
a variant. In that case, you have to use the statement:
options set=vqdllname dll-name;
To define the variant HLLAPI DLL, such as EHLAPI32.

Subject: SAS Connect session configuration problems
Hi there,
We are having problems with PC SAS V8.1 running on Windows 2000, where
SAS Connect cannot be configured for EHLLAPI running via Attachmate
Extra! 6.5.
A little background....
Our users use SAS/ASSIST to configure remote connections to both CMS and
MVS. So, they run SAS/ASSIST, set the startup mode to Workplace and
click Continue. They then click on Remote Connect and select Edit
remote connection. They then click on Add, to create a new
configuration.
But, with our Windows 2000 machines, if they click on the COMAMID
button, only TCP is available. Everything else is greyed out. We can't
select EHLLAPI.
On our Windows 95 machines running the same versions of Extra and PC
SAS, EHLLAPI is available.
I've seen posts regarding Extra and the Windows search path (make sure
Extra is first in the search path) but this hasn't made any difference.
On Win2K the path isn't set in the Autoexec, so I've changed it under
the Environment settings.
I would guess that SAS isn't seeing the EHLLAPI files, but I don't know
what to try next. I've also tried the same SAS/CONNECT setup on a Win2K
machine running IBM PCOM as the emulator, and the same results are
produced - no EHLLAPI - so I don't think its Extra.
Has anyone had SAS/CONNECT and Extra working on a Windows 2000 machine?
Thanks.
