All: I have what seem to be a dumb question, but this is my first venture is real multi-tasking... We have a single thread Cobol STC that performs all the necessary functions we need to do, Two STCS perform Security Reconciliation and Provisioning just to provide everyone with a general idea . Our z/OS STCs talk via encrypted messages to a LDAP that resides on Windows or Linux or any *nix derivative. I am not 100% percent sure based on my reading we can multi-thread Cobol like we need to do . We can separate storage , i.e.; with Local-Storage, no issue. I need to have two threads running TCPIP. We currently use EZASOKET, which performs and works fine. I need one thread to issue various security commands via r_admin and the other thread performing other not security type calls to other programs. But can I do TCP calls from a second thread or do I have to issue a 'ATTACH' in assembler and call the new Cobol code ? I am thinking about two separate listening ports because our STC listens based on a parameter provided port. If I do the 'ATTACH' how would the Cobol program 'POST' back .. As always Best Regards,
