If its Cobol CICS on ZOS then have a look at this for timer services, http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/txen/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.txseries510.doc/erzhad0002.htm cheers Andy

Thanks Etom but this didn't work for me, just tried with AMODE(24)link edit parms and DATA(24) compile parms only and this worked too. Yes it makes sense to convert the Assembler to 31 but the routines are part of external software so the only thing I can do is ask them to upgrade, however for...

Hello, most of you will already know this but its the first time I have had to do it so thought I'd share what I found. An Enterprise cobol program has to call a non LE compliant Assembler routine which is both amode(24) and rmode(24). After many OC4's, what seems to work is link edit the cobol...

I believe it is, they seem very much alive and kicking from their website oops sorry Delta...I wish them a prosperous future but that doesn't mean I like the makros ;-)

Hi David I wish I was beating around the wrong bush...have found out Delta was a company who tried to sell a product/language which could handle intergrated cobol code and was designed in a kind of OO way i.e. like a class, supposedly the idea was to build up a set of 'makros' which could be...

I have also seen this done with MQ rather than with HTTP, but the SOAP/XML part stays the same. There are data limitations with MQ which might cause a problem if its > 4Mb messages and relatively high volume or a single message is > 100Mb but I doubt thats an issue if this is the first time you...

Thanks Guys, this is now working, the assembler program was LE conforming, and the cobol program was changed as per the manual in WMK's message.

Thanks for the responses so far, am leaving for the day, but to answer Marc and 3gm, yes there have been displays put into the cobol pgm but unfortnately its not my module, its not even under our teams control so I can't mess about with it too much, as far as I know its reaching the cobol...

Hi Tom this is on z/OS, using Assembler(don't know the version) and Cobol (Enterprise Z/OS) where a third party software, specifically a BMC product written in assembler is attempting to LINK to a cobol program as a submodule in batch from one of its exits. The cobol program has been written to...

Does anyone know how to do this, I think this is accomplished using pointers but I can't remember exactly how, example code would be really helpful...but of course all help much appreciated cheers Andy

Hi am trying to find out about this language, and most of all am trying to find some manuals in English. The system has been ported from a UNisys environment to mainframe and the shop has kept these API's all written in this language and am trying to work out what they do. All help much...

A bit of a philosophical post here, but am gathering opinions. Am looking to do some kind of certification which would add to my experience as a Cobol CICS DB2 A/P. Where do you see the future for us and what certifications would you recommend? Any advice much appreciated.

The data is used for policy calculations which can be a large number but I wouldn't have said huge. Also they would run to a few decimal places but it doesn't appear to warrant a comp-2 field. When calculations are done in the original module, they are exactly as Glen and PHV suggested above...

Hi am dealing with a rewrite of a module which uses comp 2 fields. From IBM it would seem these can contain either 18 or 31 digits but how do you know how many decimal places there are? Also if I wanted to split the comp 2 field into two fields i.e. ws-integer ws-decimal whats the best way of...

Hi I want to know what how to find out what database a particular cics region is pointing to...all help much appreciated????

hi thought i'd post this on the db2 forum as well as the cobol forum,so all help much appreciated... I am running a piece of sql doing a count and want to check the count into field hasn't exceeded its max value (null indicator???) cheers Andy

hello i am running a piece of sql to do a count and want to know how to check if the count into field has gone over the max value of that field (null indicator????) all help much appreciated Andy

thanks for the suggestions, found the problem last week, not surprisingly it was my stupid logic which caused the problem ...

OK don't know the best way to describe this but here goes...my main module,running in CICS) calls a submodule for every row in an array, the submodule does an open/fetch/close(DB2) on the parm passed by the main module for the search...

OK don't know the best way to describe this but here goes...my main module,running in CICS) calls a submodule for every row in an array, the submodule does an open/fetch/close(DB2) on the parm passed by the main module for the search criteria. On calling the submodule greater than once the...
