COBOL Scenarios

Scenario I: Calling an Existing COBOL Server

Start of instruction setTo call an existing COBOL server

  1. Use the IDL Extractor for COBOL to extract the Software AG IDL and, depending on the complexity of the extraction, also an SVM file.

  2. Build an EntireX RPC client using any EntireX wrapper. See EntireX Wrappers. For a quick test you can:

See Client and Server Examples for z/VSE Batch for COBOL RPC Server examples.

Scenario II: Writing a New COBOL Server

Start of instruction setTo write a new COBOL server

  1. Use the COBOL Wrapper to generate a COBOL server skeleton and, depending on the complexity of the extraction, also an SVM file. Write your COBOL server and proceed as described under Using the COBOL Wrapper for the Server Side.

  2. Build an EntireX RPC client using any EntireX wrapper. See EntireX Wrappers. For a quick test you can:

See Client and Server Examples for z/VSE Batch for COBOL RPC Server examples.
