COBOL-generated code integration

You can generate a COBOL program to execute rules and then link it into a COBOL calling application.

Generate the COBOL program in Rule Designer, Decision Center, or using an Ant command. Then integrate the generated COBOL program with a COBOL calling program and run both on a z/OS® subsystem.

You can run the generated COBOL program in the following types of application:

• Batch
• CICS®
• IMS

If you generate the code in Rule Designer, the source file resides in the directory you specified during code generation, ready to upload to z/OS. If you use Decision Center, you download the output from the Decision Center code generation process onto your local machine. If you used an Ant command, the generated COBOL program is saved to: <InstallDir>/studio/lib.
