SAS/C INTEROPERABLE WITH IBM C/C++

SAS/C INTEROPERABLE WITH IBM C/C++, WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES, DOES
SAS/C PRODUCE SAME TYPE PERL EXTENSIONS AND INTEROPERATE WITH C MODULES
THAT RESULT FROM COMPILATIONS USING LE ?
IF I AM RUNNING IBM C, CAN I EASLY CONVERT TO SAS/C ?

YOUR QUESTION IS OUTSIDE THE DOMAIN OF COMP.LANG.C, WHICH DISCUSSES
ONLY THE STANDARD C PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE, INCLUDING THE STANDARD C
LIBRARY. THIS IS A REMARKABLY NARROW TOPIC COMPARED TO WHAT MANY
PEOPLE EXPECT.

FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE, THE LIST BELOW CONTAINS TOPICS THAT ARE NOT
ON-TOPIC FOR COMP.LANG.C, AND SUGGESTS NEWSGROUPS FOR YOU TO EXPLORE
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THESE TOPICS. PLEASE DO OBSERVE PROPER
NETIQUETTE BEFORE POSTING TO ANY OF THESE NEWSGROUPS. IN PARTICULAR,
YOU SHOULD READ THE GROUP'S CHARTER AND FAQ, IF ANY (FAQS ARE
AVAILABLE FROM WWW.FAQS.ORG AND OTHER SOURCES). IF THOSE FAIL TO
ANSWER YOUR QUESTION THEN YOU SHOULD BROWSE THROUGH AT LEAST TWO WEEKS
OF RECENT ARTICLES TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR QUESTION HAS NOT ALREADY
BEEN ANSWERED.

* OS-SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, SUCH AS HOW TO CLEAR THE SCREEN,
ACCESS THE NETWORK, LIST THE FILES IN A DIRECTORY, OR READ
"PIPED" OUTPUT FROM A SUBPROCESS. THESE QUESTIONS SHOULD BE
DIRECTED TO OS-SPECIFIC NEWSGROUPS, SUCH AS
COMP.OS.MS-WINDOWS.PROGRAMMER.MISC, COMP.UNIX.PROGRAMMER, OR
COMP.OS.LINUX.DEVELOPMENT.APPS.

* COMPILER-SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, SUCH AS INSTALLATION ISSUES AND
LOCATIONS OF HEADER FILES. ASK ABOUT THESE IN
COMPILER-SPECIFIC NEWSGROUPS, SUCH AS GNU.GCC.HELP OR
COMP.OS.MS-WINDOWS.PROGRAMMER.MISC. QUESTIONS ABOUT WRITING
COMPILERS ARE APPROPRIATE IN COMP.COMPILERS.

* PROCESSOR-SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, SUCH AS QUESTIONS ABOUT
ASSEMBLY AND MACHINE CODE. X86 QUESTIONS ARE APPROPRIATE IN
COMP.LANG.ASM.X86, EMBEDDED SYSTEM PROCESSOR QUESTIONS MAY
BE APPROPRIATE IN COMP.ARCH.EMBEDDED.

* ABI-SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, SUCH AS HOW TO INTERFACE ASSEMBLY
CODE TO C. THESE QUESTIONS ARE BOTH PROCESSOR- AND
OS-SPECIFIC AND SHOULD TYPICALLY BE ASKED IN OS-SPECIFIC
NEWSGROUPS.

* ALGORITHMS, EXCEPT QUESTIONS ABOUT C IMPLEMENTATIONS OF
ALGORITHMS. "HOW DO I IMPLEMENT ALGORITHM X IN C?" IS NOT A
QUESTION ABOUT A C IMPLEMENTATION OF AN ALGORITHM, IT IS A
REQUEST FOR SOURCE CODE. NEWSGROUPS COMP.PROGRAMMING AND
COMP.THEORY MAY BE APPROPRIATE.

* MAKING C INTEROPERATE WITH OTHER LANGUAGES. C HAS NO
FACILITIES FOR SUCH INTEROPERATION. THESE QUESTIONS SHOULD
BE DIRECTED TO SYSTEM- OR COMPILER-SPECIFIC NEWSGROUPS. C++
HAS FEATURES FOR INTEROPERATING WITH C, SO CONSIDER
COMP.LANG.C++ FOR SUCH QUESTIONS.

* THE C STANDARD, AS OPPOSED TO STANDARD C. QUESTIONS ABOUT
THE C STANDARD ARE BEST ASKED IN COMP.STD.C.

* C++. PLEASE DO NOT POST OR CROSS-POST QUESTIONS ABOUT C++
TO COMP.LANG.C. ASK C++ QUESTIONS IN C++ NEWSGROUPS, SUCH
AS COMP.LANG.C++ OR COMP.LANG.C++.MODERATED.

* TEST POSTS. PLEASE TEST IN A NEWSGROUP MEANT FOR TESTING,
SUCH AS ALT.TEST.

NEWS.GROUPS.QUESTIONS IS A GOOD PLACE TO ASK ABOUT THE APPROPRIATE
NEWSGROUP FOR A GIVEN TOPIC.

Sorry, but my CAPS LOCK key is working correctly,
so I won't reply in the same style.
Just a few questions for you:
1. What is SAS/C?
2. What is IBM C/C++ and how does it differ from
ISO C and ISO C++ languages.
3. What is "... using LE"?
4. How is IBM C different than Microsoft, Borland,
Gnu or Metaware C? Does it matter?

Just a few questions for you:
1. What is SAS/C?


A compiler suite for the C language, offered by SAS
(a company in North Carolina).
2. What is IBM C/C++ and how does it differ from
ISO C and ISO C++ languages.
The total tonnage of how IBM C differs from ISO C
is staggering. Same for IBM C++ versus ISO C++.
3. What is "... using LE"?
LE is IBM's "Language Environment", which is a dynamic
runtime library for multiple programming languages,
including IBM C/C++, and it is part of the tonnage mentioned
above. There are huge dependencies on the monstrosity
known as LE. LE is a PITA.
4. How is IBM C different than Microsoft, Borland,
Gnu or Metaware C? Does it matter?


IBM C is targeted at the IBM mainframe architecture,
which is a Big Endian family of computers, CISC
(Complex Instruction Set thingy). IBM Mainframes
are responsible for most of the important business
and financial data processing across the world. (And
you thought the world began and ended with Intel...eek!)

If you write C or C++ code for the IBM mainframe, use
Systems/C found at http://www.dignus.com
