Hi,
Just a quick question to know if it is possible to call a cobol program (lets say a subroutine) from a CICS program and Batch Cobol program?
Thanks

You can also call a CICS program from a batch program. Like this:
| Code: | EXEC CICS LINK PROGRAM ('LK0200')
TRANSID ('EXCI')
APPLID (TARGET-SYSTEM)
COMMAREA (LOCOMM01)
LENGTH (LENGTH OF LOCOMM01)
DATALENGTH (LENGTH OF LOCOMM01)
RETCODE (EXCI-EXEC-RETURN-CODE)
SYNCONRETURN
END-EXEC |

powerhawk, ,
I am just wondering whether the Batch cobol compiler will be able to understand the CICS statements such as EXEC CICS LINK PROGRAM ...??
Could you please explain?
Thanks

Yes, you need a step in the compile job to translate EXEC CICS till Call 'DFHXCIE' using...
In our installation:
//TRN EXEC PGM=DFHECP1 |

I think that so long as
a) The called subroutine has no file access or other routine that would have to be handled by CICS.
b) There are no AMODE discrepancies.
c) The calling program uses "CALL" instead of an EXEC CICS LINK.
You should be OK.
I'm pretty sure I remember doing this although it should be noted that it was a long time ago and I was using static linking, not dynamic so there's a wrinkle there I'm not so sure about. |
