And to answer the other half of Magen Nargalit's question: >If a c/c++ connector s required and I don't have c/c++ compiler >for z/os can I compile on another platform and port the >object / Module to z/os environment?
Yes, of course. You do not need the IBM C/C++ compiler installed in your production z/OS LPAR. As long as you have a valid compiler license somewhere -- on another machine, say -- and compile there, you're fine. I'm referring to the IBM compiler here, but Dignus and SAS also have compilers. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Specializing in Software Architectures Related to System z Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan and IBM Asia-Pacific E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
