The EntireX z/OS IMS RPC Server allows standard RPC clients to communicate with RPC servers on the operating system z/OS running with IMS in BMP mode. It supports the programming languages COBOL, PL/I and C and can provide IMS-specific PCB pointers for access to IMS databases if needed.
For COBOL, it works together with the COBOL Wrapper and IDL Extractor for COBOL.
For PL/I, it works together with the PL/I Wrapper and IDL Extractor for PL/I.
For C, use the C Wrapper.
Supported compilers are listed under z/OS Prerequisites in the Release Notes.
