I need to build an application which has Natural programs which need to put messages onto MQ
As per my understanding, there is no direct interface from Natural to MQ.
So I have thought of using COBOL in between. Thus the natural programs will invoke COBOL program which will accept parameters from natural and put the messages onto MQ

Problem
---------
I have both batch/online natural programs. So can the COBOL programs support both these modes? My initial analysis says if I don't use any CICS commands in the COBOL program and commit the work using MQCMIT, I can do call the COBOL program from both batch/online programs and put the messages successfully onto MQ

Can you please confirm my understanding or advice me a better solution?
