The Windows and Windows NT versions of ACUCOBOL-GT support calls to IBM's Customer Information Control System (CICS) Universal Client Interface for Windows and MQSeries Windows Client. (We also support the IBM DB2 Client. Please see the AcuSQL documentation for more details.)
This functionality is built into the runtime so relinking is not required. The ACUCOBOL-GT runtime can understand CICS and MQSeries call syntax. This allows you to access IBM applications on a mainframe or other host, and means that you can use ACUCOBOL-GT GUI interfaces as a front end to your IBM COBOL applications.
To use this feature, you must install the CICS Universal Client and/or the MQSeries Client software on your machine and configure it according to the IBM documentation. IBM includes sample COBOL programs that you can use to test your client/server connection. You will need to refer to IBM's documentation for specific information on CICS and MQSeries.
