| Hi and Merry Christmas...
Several issues need to be answered before any migration from IBM
Mainframe to Sun Solaris/UNIX (do not know yet what version they are).
I usually code sample programs in Microfocus NetExpress v3.10 (Windows
platform) and a client is migrating their Cobol codes from mainframe to
Sun Solaris UNIX platform using Microfocus Server Express V4.0.
Browsed the Cobol code (conventional Cobol w/ Oracle access).... ported
it in Sun Solaris/UNIX (using NetExpress publish wizard), compiled it
in Microfocus Server Express V4.0 and works just fine. The function of
this Cobol code is basically for batch.... read input flat-file and
INSERT or UPDATE specific Oracle back-end. I did install Oracle ODBC as
well from DataDirect. They are executing this batch run.... in 4 days!
And I did finetune it in 9hours at least.
Case: We wanted to run multiple thread of this Cobol program, say 3 or
4 runs (simultaneously) to further boost the execution. Its basically a
nature of multiprocess run in UNIX (as they say... Im used of Windows
and OS400 platforms only).
Question: Under Microfocus environment, using compiler directive
"REENTRANT".... say converting this conventional Cobol code into a
multi-thread application. Is the Microfocus NetExpress V3.10 (Windows)
coding convention "the same" as Server Express V4.00 (UNIX)??
If so, then how can I compile a multi-thread Cobol program in Server
Express v4.0? So far I am compiling it in Sun Solaris/UNIX platform
using "cob -xg coblprog.cbl"
Any help on Microfocus platform?
Additional: Already posted this in Microfocus forum, and seems everyone
is on holiday :-)
