We have a need to write one or more FUNCTIONS in COBOL, to date we have been unable to find any reference to doing such. Does anyone know if this can be one? Has anyone done it? Several members of the staff say it can be doen, but are unable to show any documentation on it. TIA
Can you be a little more specific? Can you give us an example of what such a function might do? A couple of our courses might be of help to you: "Enterprise COBOL Update I: Essentials" (2 days) This includes descriptions of the new language features that allow you to create COBOL functions (and to invoke C functions directly). details: http://www.trainersfriend.com/COBOL_Courses/d704descr.htm "Secrets if Inter-Language Communication in z/OS" (3.5 days) This includes how to define data items in four languages (COBOL, Assembler, PL/I, C) and how to call and be called in each of those languages; the calling may be static, dynamic, or DLL; it may be in classic subroutine style or it may be in function style. details: http://www.trainersfriend.com/Language_Environment_courses/m520descr.htm Kind regards, -Steve Comstock The Trainer's Friend, Inc. 303-393-8716 http://www.trainersfriend.com z/OS Application development made easier * Our classes include + How things work + Programming examples with realistic applications + Starter / skeleton code + Complete working programs + Useful utilities and subroutines + Tips and techniques ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
