Hi All.

My company is currently running IBM Enterprise COBOL for z/OS V3.4.

We are also running SAP. I would like to create a web service in SAP,
then call it from a COBOL Program.

How do I call a Web Service from a COBOL Program?

Let me know if you need any more information. Any help is greatly
appreciated!!

Thanks,
Aaron

Is your client COBOL program running under CICS? My understanding is that
recent versions of CICS TS (for z/OS) have a web services client API (EXEC
CICS) that you can use.

(Being on z/VSE, not z/OS, I am not able to use them, but...)

We have both CICS COBOL Programs and Batch JCL Programs. Being able
to call a web service from both would be ideal.

Do you or anybody else have any information or examples of a CICS API
for calling Web Services in COBOL? Is it possible to call from a
batch program?

Thanks Again for helping!
