COBOL/HP-UX Operating Guide for the Series 700 and 800

Appendix A  Part V Appendices Advanced Programming Features 

As noted in Chapter 10 , Writing Programs, you can access non-COBOL
subprograms using the standard COBOL CALL...USING statement.  This
appendix provides additional information on mixing C and COBOL programs. 
It describes the C functions, COBOL library routines and screen handling
routines provided to help you mix programs.

Note:    The call-by-name routines 
         prefixed with "cob" described in this appendix are
         UNIX-specific; they are not portable to non-UNIX environments.
         If you are designing applications to be portable across all
         run-time systems, you should refer to the descriptions of
         CBL_prefixed library routines in Chapter 8 , Library Routines 
         (Call-by-Name).

This appendix also explains how to configure the _CODESET module which
converts ASCII to EBCDIC and EBCDIC to ASCII at run time.
