Calling COBOL sub-routines from Stored procedures written in SQL

[Thomasb]

Hi!

In our company we have a huge amount of COBOL sub-routines that are
called from other COBOL-programs.

Now we are looking for a method to call them from Windows/Web
applications.

One idea is to wrap the sub-routine call in a DB2 stored procedure and
call the procedure from our Web application.

Anyone who like to comments on this approach?

Anyone who can give me a hint of where to look for examples and more
information?

Cheers!

You can find cobol sp samples in sqllib/samples/cobol (spcreate.db2 has
the ddl, and inpsrv.sqb is an example sp).

I'm aware of the possibility to create COBOL SP:s but are looking for
a method to register (thru a DDL) a already compiled COBOL sub and
make it accessibly as a stored procedure for my Web app.
