That pretty well sums it up. Yes, COBOL (but not SCOBOL, which is an
interpreted language) can be called from TAL. Tandem has Common Runtime
Environment (CRE, similar to CEE in principal) to enable mixed-language
environment.

J. Chiampi can also go to docs.hp.com for Nonstop information.
From what I remember SCOBOL was part of the Pathway/TS
(CICS-like) product, it had screen handling capabilities. NonStop COBOL
was COBOL-85, from what I remember.
No JCL on Tandem, they had TACL(Tandem Application Control Language)
more like Unix Scripts.

I would think that posting this in
comp.lang.cobol
MIGHT bet a better answer than in IBM-MAIN
