Client and Server Examples for z/OS Batch

This document describes the examples provided for the COBOL Wrapper for z/OS Batch. All examples here can be found in the EntireX directory examples/RPC under UNIX and Windows. They are also available for z/OS, if this is installed. See Extract the EntireX RPC Examples from their Container Data Set. This document covers the following topics:

Basic RPC Client Examples - CALC, SQUARE

CALC Client

For z/OS Batch, the CALC client is built with COBOL Wrapper "Batch with standard linkage calling convention" interface type. See Client Interface Types for more information.

Name Type Data Set Description Notes
CALC COBOL source code EXP990.CCCO Client interface object for IDL program CALC. 1
CALCCLT COBOL source code EXP990.CCCO A client application calling the remote procedure (RPC service) CALC, with associated example.idl. 2
CALCIGY JCL EXP990.CCCO Job (JCL) to build the RPC client CALCCLT. 3
CALCRUN JCL EXP990.CCCO Job (JCL) to execute the RPC client CALCCLT. 3
CALC COBOL copybook EXP990.CICO Client interface object copybook for IDL program CALC. 1

Notes:

  1. Under z/OS, client interface objects are delivered with the installation; under UNIX and Windows, generate these objects with the EntireX Workbench.
  2. Application built according to the client-side build instructions, see Using the COBOL Wrapper for Batch (z/OS, BS2000/OSD, z/VSE and IBM i).
  3. Adapt the JCL to your needs.

For more information refer to the readme file in EntireX directory examples/RPC/basic/example/CobolClient/zosBatch under UNIX or Windows.

SQUARE Client

For batch under operating system z/OS, the SQUARE client is built with COBOL Wrapper "Batch with standard linkage calling convention" interface type. See Client Interface Types for more information.
