Hi all,
I am at a site that has an huge ageing CICS system that now needs to talk to the outside world. It will need, ultimately, to call an application that sits on a web server, pass it some data, and receive some data in return.
The CICS system has Web Support and I believe CICS TS 3.1 so I am under the impression that all is in place to enable this to work.
What I am looking to do at the moment is to prove that what we have got already installed works correctly. I think the easiest way to do this would be to write a CICS Cobol program that posts to HTTP and gets back a response.
I have absolutely no experience with Cobol and CICS doing this sort of thing, so am looking for examples that I can borrow from.
Any help gratefully received.
Marc
