This section gives you a high-level overview of ILC considerations for existing OS/VS COBOL programs and VS COBOL II programs running under the VS COBOL II run time. For exact details and for the latest information on ILC under Language Environment, see the Language Environment Writing Interlanguage Applications.
Existing applications that use interlanguage communication (ILC) might not be able to run under Language Environment. There are several determining factors, including which languages are involved. The following sections describe the implications for existing applications with ILC.
For CICS, you can continue to use EXEC CICS LINK and EXEC CICS XCTL to communicate with other languages.
