Help. Our application people want to know if it is possible to call a DLL from a program running on OS/390 whether the calling program is C or Java or better yet Cobol? Can I compile a C program on OS390 and if so is there any sample compiles somewhere on the system? Once again thanks all. Bob Pelletier Ct. Student Loan Foundation Rocky Hill, Ct.
Assuming you are using current supported compilers (unlike your current, non-supported operating system), the answer is: yes. You can create DLLs in COBOL, PL/I, C, and recently, Assembler (also C++ and Java, presumably, but I have not done those). These DLLs can be invoked from programs written in COBOL, PL/I, C, and Assembler (, C++, Java) and they can all cross language boundaries: the invoker does not have to be written in the same language as the DLL was. Check out this course: http://www.trainersfriend.com/Language_Environment_courses/m220descr.htm which is scheduled to be updated to z/OS this year.
