Subprogram Call Format
The first release of Sunaccess supported Micro Focus COBOL for DOS. The format for COBOL interface is the standard COBOL subprogram interface:
|
|
CALL subprogram USING | |
|
|
|
BY REFERENCE parameter |
|
|
|
BY VALUE parameter |
|
|
|
RETURNING return-parameter |
From COBOL's perspective, the C functions in Sunaccess are subprograms. The Micro Focus COBOL convention for calling a C function is to precede the function name with c_ (e.g., the C function SA_AamPrep becomes the COBOL subprogram c_SA_AamPrep).
