External Stored Procedures Limitations?

Hi. I was wondering if anyone out here knows if there is a limit to
the size of an external stored procedure? I am currently using VB
programs in Windows to call small COBOL stored procs residing in AIX
without any problems. This time, however, I am planning to have
another VB program call a COBOL stored proc that, in turn, calls other
COBOL programs via ordinary COBOL CALLs.

Any ideas?

Once you are in the external world it's up to the OS.
Only when you do the CALL via SQL does and can DB2 count.
The current limit for SQL CALLs is 64 (entirely arbitrary).

Cheers

Thanks for the reply, Serge. Which OS are you referring to? Windows or
AIX?

Whichever your OS is... DB2 loads the library and invokes it - hands of.
