I once wrote one in Assembler on CMS to mate Mainsail with SQL/DS. Granted, Mainsail gave me a headstart with it's bidirectional "Foreign Language Interface" (Mainsail->Assembler and Assembler->Mainsail) and the vendor kindly fixed s deficiency when I couldn't close the loop: (Mainsail->Assembler->Mainsail stumbled on re-executing Mainsail initialization.) And I was able to use the runtime source-language debugger which could inspect and modify named variables as an interface to EXECCOMM. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
