Client and Server Examples for z/VSE Batch

This document describes the RPC examples provided. After installation of the EntireX Development Tools package, all examples here can be found in the EntireX directory examples/RPC.

Basic RPC Client Examples - CALC, SQUARE

CALC Client

The CALC client is built with COBOL Wrapper interface type "Batch with standard linkage calling convention". See Client Interface Types for more information.

Notes:

  1. Generate these objects with the Designer.
  2. Application built according to the client-side build instructions, see Using the COBOL Wrapper for Batch (z/OS, BS2000, z/VSE and IBM i).
  3. The delivered JCL requires the sources, copybooks etc. to be placed in the documented sublibrary. Adapt the JCL to your needs.
  4. See Generation and Usage of Generic RPC Service Module COBSRVI.

For more information refer to the file README1.TXT in EntireX directory examples/RPC/CobolClient/vseBatch under UNIX or Windows.

Basic RPC Server Examples - CALC, SQUARE

CALC Server

For batch under operating system z/VSE, the CALC server is built with COBOL Wrapper "Batch with standard linkage calling convention" interface type. See Server Interface Types for more information.
