If you follow the link-edit
requirements,
Language Environment supports
ILC between the following combinations of COBOL and C programs:
- VS COBOL II,
Version 1 Release 3, and later
- IBM COBOL
- Enterprise COBOL
- C/370, Version 1 (5688-040)
- C/370, Version 2 (5688-187)
- OS/390 C/C++
- z/OS C/C++
You must link-edit any existing, supported C and COBOL ILC applications
either with:
- Language Environment
- The C conversion tool (APAR PN74931) while running on C/370, Version 2.
(For the C conversion tool to work on Language Environment,
Release 5, you must also install APAR PN77483. The function is in the base
for Language Environment Release
6 and later.)
You can use either method, except in the following cases, when you must
link-edit with
Language Environment:
- When the application contains COBOL NORES programs.
- When the application requires COBOL program-specific runtime options or
space tuning.
