COBOL calling a C program

5 New Member
Hello,

Now that I have my C program running and my COBOL programming running, thanks to the support here. Now I need to pass a 16 position number to the C program and receive back a 64 position 'hashed' variable back. Yes I am doing SHA256 hashing.

When I pass my variable from COBOL and the C program received it then the argv[1] shows only 14 positions with the first 2 positions missing. Also the agrv[0] shows the name of the COBOL program not the C program. Furthermore I cam not getting anything back from the C program although when I do printf's in the C code and look at the sysprint dd out the 'hashed' 64 position variable is there.

Any one have any ideas about what is happending here.

Thank you,

I am on a project where I am converting COBOL to C++ on the mainframe. I am new to COBOL and have a lot of questions - any websites or any suggestions from experienced people will be really appreciated. My main issue is with the CALL routine - I have to call a external function which I believe is Assembly. Right now the call is made using 4 structures in COBOL. To convert to C++ - what should I be concerned about, should I pass 4...

Actually I would like to know what additional JCL I will need if a COBOL non-DB2 program is calling to a COBOL/DB2 program. The original non-DB2 program is executed using: //STEP1 EXEC PGM=PROG1 I know I have to supply database name/plan to my program, but how? Another question: what happens is the PROG1 program is a DB2 program and is calling to another DB2 program with a different database and a different plan?

I'm new to stored procedures, however, the passing of parameters using a group item in the calling cobol program seems incorrect to me. Would this work? Calling COBOL pgm is calling a stored procedure using a group 01 level and the receiving COBOL procedure has 01 levels for each parameter. Environment is z/OS, DB2, CICS, COBOL, LE. The procedure is local using WLM. DB2 version is 7.x and CICS is TS 2.2, I think.

I am trying to learn how to use stored procedures written in COBOL so I wrote 2 small programs to test it out: the stored procedure and the the calling program. I have no problems compiling them but when the calling program enters the SP, it either hangs or gives me sqlcode -1131. We are on AIX 5.2 (I think) running DB2 UDB ver 7.2 and MF COBOL 4.1. Below are the programs I wrote:

Hi, I am a newbie when it comes to stored procs and i would like to learn how to call a COBOL program from a stored procedure. The SP can either be an DB2 SQL SP or an external COBOL/DB2 SP. I can use either depending on which is more efficient. One of the older posts ("Calling a COBOL Subroutine from COBOL/DB2 Stored Procedure" Dec 2005) suggested this is possible but I couldn't follow the explanation and there wasn't any examples....

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
