Gee, I've been developing crypto technology for 30+ years that runs in those environments - so it's certainly news to me that it can't be done :-) Looking at the ICSF Application Programmer's Guide, which defines the ways most z/OS applications get cryptographic services, I see this:
ICSF callable services can be called from application programs written in a number of high-level languages as well as assembler. The high-level languages are: - C - COBOL - FORTRAN - PL/I ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
