All z390 Portable Mainframe Assembler now supports COBOL calling z390 assembler using IBM standard EZASOKET interface without requiring any other framework or language such as XML or C. For demo with source code and screen capture using Micro Focus Mainframe Express COBOL and z390 running on Windows XP/Vista:
http://z390.sourceforge.net/z390_SOA_Support_for_COBOL_and_Assembler.ht m In theory this same EZASOKET interface could be used with COBOL running on any platform and operating system with EZASOKET support connected to z390 SOA server running on any platform supported by J2SE Java on the same TCP/IP network. The next question I have is whether anyone has experience or knows of EZASOKET implementation for Linux?
