[Tiny-cobol-users] Can Jave or C program call COBOL module?

[steven g. <ste...@gm...>]

Hi,
Can Java or c program call cobol modules? in Tinycobol sample files, i
find COBOL program file can be easy to call c file program.But COBOL
as a legacy system, we often use our new Java or C modules to call
COBOL file.
are there any methods?

Yes, TC compiled COBOL (sub)programs can call C functions, and C 
programs can call COBOL (sub)programs.
There are several examples in the 'test.code' directories.

Just think of TC compiled COBOL (sub)programs as equivalent to C 
functions, with a return type of INT.

I would suggest using the current CVS version (0.62.13), as it has 
options to define entry points.

AFAIK, no testing has been done using JAVA.

[Tiny-cobol-users] Can i call DB2 database from tinyCOBOL

[nikil c. <nik...@ya...>]

Hi All,

I am newbie for tinyCOBOL development. I am struggling
with finding information about tinyCOBOL with DB2
database access. Can somebody let me know whether it
is possible to connect to DB2 from tinyCOBOL and send
me some URL's and resources. Your help is very much
appreciated. Looking forward for positive response.

Thanks & Regards,
Nikil

TC does not have an SQL pre-processor, thus you can only access any SQL 
database using the native API, and not using embedded SQL.

If DB2 includes an SQL pre-processor for COBOL, and I think it does, the 
following may (or may not) work.
Pass the embedded SQL COBOL program thru the DB2 SQL pre-processor for 
COBOL. And then using TC, compile it's output adding the appropriate DB2 
library(s) in the link step.
