COBOL thread on windows

Hi,

I have a main program and a subprogram which need to be run in separate threads.
I am using cob2 compiler(visualage) to do this.

cob2 -qthread main.cbl

cob2 -qthread sub.cbl

After compilation when I run the main.exe,its not creating 2 threads bit only one.Both programs are in recursive mode.
I am using function pointer to call the subprogram and linking it dynamically.

Any idea as to why I am not seeing 2 threads but one?

Thanks

Hello,

How was it determined that a sub-program should run in a different thread than the calling program? This is not normal cobol processing. . .

What does the code do that requires (or could even be supported by) 2 threads?
