Non-Language Environment-conforming assembler invoking an HLL main routine
When a C, C++, COBOL, or PL/I main routine is called from a non-Language Environment-conforming assembler program, the actions in Table 1 take place.
| Type of assembler invocation | Language Environment is not up | Language Environment is up |
|---|---|---|
| EXEC CICS® LINK and EXEC CICS XCTL | Initial enclave is created. | Nested enclave is created. The COBOL program could be a main in this case. |
| EXEC CICS LOAD and BALR | This is not supported. | This is not supported. |
| LINK | Initial enclave is created. | Nested enclave is created. The COBOL program could be a main in this case. |
| LOAD and BALR | Initial enclave is created. | CEE393 is signaled. You cannot LOAD and BALR a main routine
under Language Environment.
However, in COBOL, this is supported because the COBOL program would be a subroutine, not a main. |
