I'm searching working examples for socket programming in COBOL on z/ OS. Maybe I'm too dumb to google, but I've found only samples for VSE using API-calls such as TCPSOCKT which I can't find on our z/OS environment.

Is there any sample coding or even any documentation on how to work with sockets when using COBOL on z/OS ?

Many thanks for the replies.

It seems that I've overlooked the most obvious place to look at. So here's a list of interesting links for all of those who try to play around with TCP/IP socket programming with COBOL on z/OS:

1. CS for OS/390 TCP/IP Implementation: MVS Applications

2. MVS TCP/IP Sockets

3. TCP/IP Tutorial and Technical Overview

http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/EZAP1004/CCONTENTS?DT=19970730010745

In addition there are some more documents especially for TCP/IP programming techniques under CICS or IMS respectively.

stefan,

I did a lot of soket programming using cics and ims to communicate with pc clients and other remote systems (using HTTP, XML .......).

If you have some special questions pls let me know.

regards,
bauer
