I've been playing around with COBOL and the Unix callable services. Kinda cool! Glad they are not limited to assembler.

Yes, and it goes both ways. I'm working a project right now with one of the original IBM OMVS developers and he told me that the BPX callable services wrap Comms Server APIs and then the LE C/C++ runtime wrap the BPX services. AF_UNIX sockets are handled in OMVS. It was an inspired decision by IBM to provide callable services for z/OS UNIX and not another macro interface like EZASMI. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
