Note: This section is not applicable to CICS. FORTRAN programs running on
CICS has never been supported by IBM.
ILC is supported between
the following COBOL and FORTRAN releases if link-edited with
Language Environment:
- VS COBOL II,
Release 3 and later (static CALL statements only)
- IBM COBOL
- Enterprise COBOL
- VS FORTRAN, Version 1 (except for modules compiled with Release 1 or Release
2 and either are subprograms that receive character arguments, or pass character
arguments to subprograms).
- VS FORTRAN, Version 2 (except modules compiled with Release 5 or Release
6) that:
- Contain parallel language constructs
- Specify the PARALLEL compiler option
- Invoke parallel callable services (PEORIG, PEPOST, PEWAIT, PETERM, PLCOND,
PLFREE, PLLOCK, PLORIG, or PLTERM)
- FORTRAN IV G1
- FORTRAN IV H Extended
With Language Environment, OS/VS COBOL RES
programs that call or are called by FORTRAN are not supported.
Existing
NORES applications containing calls between COBOL and FORTRAN will continue
to run as before, subject to the existing COBOL-FORTRAN ILC rules. However,
these applications are not supported if the FORTRAN program is link-edited
with Language Environment.
