This is just an initial concept question. In general, what mechanism could;
* a batch job, most likely an Enterprise COBOL batch program, * connect with a web service and request information from some application the web service connects with outside of the mainframe world * receive a response back from said application or if no response, be able to deal with a 404 (timeout, service not available, basically no response) type situation * and then go about it batch processing with the returned information We are at the pre-pre-concept of this and just looking for ideas.
