Coding DC calls and data areas

The way you code DC calls and data areas depends on the application programming language you use.

Before coding your program
In addition to the information you need about the database processing that your program does, you need to know about message processing. Before you start to code, be sure you are not missing any of this information. Also, be aware of the standards at your installation that affect your program.
MPP code examples
Your MPP application can be written in assembler language, COBOL, C, Pascal, and PL/I.
Message processing considerations for DB2
For the most part, the message processing function of a dependent region that accesses DB2® databases is similar to that of a dependent region that accesses only DL/I databases. The method each program uses to retrieve and send messages and back out database changes is the same.
