I may have misunderstood what Andy meant (likely in fact). However, I do want to state that you call CALL a COBOL subroutine from an HLASM program. You do need to make your HLASM program LE enabled. This is a pain, but I do it for all my HLASM program which use UNIX system services.
I have an LE-enable HLASM main routine. I have not tried to CALL subroutines written in COBOL. But I will give that at try, just for fun. ... time passes ... Well, I wrote a very simple HLASM LE-enabled program which did a static CALL to an Enterprise 3.3 COBOL program. I ran the HLASM program and it worked just fine. The COBOL program was passed an area by the HLASM program which it updated successfully. Of course, this is just one test and maybe I "got lucky". -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
