Enterprise COBOL for z/OS, Version 4.1, Compiler and Runtime Migration Guide


Communicating with other languages

This section applies to the following compiler options:

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.

Interlanguage communication is defined as programs that call or are called by other high-level languages. Assembler is not considered a high-level language; thus, calls to and from assembler programs are not considered ILC. For details on Language Environment's support for calls involving COBOL programs and assembler programs, see:

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.
