Help!!!Cobol

[Guest_imported]

I have a problem in communicating between Cobol and basic.
Can u please tell me a way, by which a cobol program can call a basic program by passing some paramters to it and also getting the control back?
The call commmand is not working and by using the chain command i am not being able to pass the parameters but it can call the basic program.

Hi!
Could you be more specific about what environment you are working in? Bye the way what is the chain command, it's not a Cobol verb that i know off.

The problem is between the communication of Mainframes and OS 4690. I have a mainframe cobol program which has to call a basic program in the 4690. The chain command is used to call the basic program in the 4690 but it does return u the control. I successfully called the program but i could not pass any parameters. I tried using the call statement also but it does not support and gives a run time error. Can u please tell me a way how I can do it?
