COBOL programs in AMODE 31 interacting with Java programs in AMODE 64
This topic describes writing COBOL programs running in AMODE 31 to interact with Java™ programs in AMODE 64.
Note: This topic does not apply to COBOL programs that contain OO features. Examples are programs
that contain
INVOKE
statements, OBJECT-REFERENCE data items, and class definitions.
An exception is JNIEnvPtr
, a COBOL special register that is used in OO programs but can be used by non-OO COBOL programs to make Java Native Interface (JNI) calls.
