This sample application demonstrates how to invoke COBOL
modules from within your Java applications.
Prerequisites for use
- WebSphere® Application
Server Version 8.5
Important: These samples were
tested with WebSphere Application
Server Version 8.5. These samples are valid on z/OS only.
Samples download
To use the samples, download Java Batch ILC sample files from
a product download site:
- Choose one of the following methods to download the sample_ilc.zip file
to a directory on your workstation: FTP or HTTP. You might create the /samples/ilc directory
path on your workstation and download Java Batch
ILC sample files to that directory path.
- From the displayed dialog, specify the target directory to which
to save the compressed file and click OK.
The
sample_ilc.zip file
contains sample files in the following directory structure:
/images
/installableApps
/scripts
/src
/style
build.xml
readme.html
Attention: The readme.html file
contains information for installing and running the sample.
Samples description
- Java Batch ILC sample
- You can install, run, and monitor an application that invokes
COBOL modules using the ILC sample application. The COBOL container
enables COBOL modules to be loaded into the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS® address space, where they
are invoked directly.
This sample application includes the COBOL
source code that is invoked from Java,
as well as four xJCL examples:
- Reads and writes data using text files (ILCSampletxt2txtxJCL.xml)
- Reads and writes data using a DB2® database,
the basic JDBC Reader, and Writer patterns (ILCSamplejdbc2jdbcxJCL.xml)
- Reads and writes data using a DB2 database,
using a Holdable Cursor batch data stream (ILCSamplecurs2cursxJCL.xml)
- Loads and run multiple COBOL application modules sequentially
(ILCSampleDataTypesxJCL.xml)
