Re: Call to a COBOL program from an SQR

["Schelske, Steve K." <SKSchelske@AAAMICHIGAN.COM>]

If you know how to start the COBOL program from the command line, you can
use the CALL SYSTEM USING function to execute the COBOL program.

You can search the sqrug.com archives for lots of examples on how to
properly use CALL SYSTEM.

If you don't know how to start the program from the command line, try to run
it that way and you may get prompted for the information that is required at
run time.

We are trying to figure out how to call a COBOL program from inside an SQR,
has anyone done this?
