Hi all,

We have the following requirements:

------To log data into an Oracle database from a COBOL program running on a Mainframe system. The Oracle database resides on a Windows system outside.Is this possible in COBOL.Initially we had an idea of using SQL * PRECOMPILER for COBOL but later we came to know that the compiler can be used only on Fujitsu/Merand cobol for windows.

-------We need to develop either a Windows(C#)/Java program that would be executed from a Windows system and it must update a flag in a DB2 database that resides on a Mainframe.We are totally blank about how to proceed further in this regard.

Please help me with any pointers/hints in this regard.

Thanks in Advance,
Siddhi.

Hi,

I was able to crack Issue#2. SourceForge.net provides a tool called "Spool390". Its a VB program which can be used to execute FTPs and JCLs from a VB application.

Cheers,
