The don't have CICS, that would have made this almost easy. z/OS, Adabas, Com-Plete on the mainframe, the open system server is Windows Server 2018, the application is looking for the "next" available date to schedule their task, but the "owner" of that schedule is on the mainframe. The "old" application would jsut go to Adabas, grab the next available empty schedule slot, and mark it used. The "new" application still needs to get that schedule "slot" from the mainframe, but does everything else on it's own. So they need to ask the mainframe to run a task that will go to Adabas, get the next avaiable slot, mark it used, and pass it back to the Windows server.
