Like the FORTRAN/3000 procedures, COBOL/3000 procedures do not allow you to omit any parameters from the parameter list or to pass parameters by value. Thus no special provisions need be made in order to call COBOL procedures from a FORTRAN program. Since the COBOL procedure call differs in format from the FORTRAN procedure call, you must translate from the COBOL format when calling a COBOL procedure in a FORTRAN program. The translation is simple:
CALL "CKOPEN" USING filetable, status. <-------------- COBOL format
| | |----|
| | |
procedure parameters
name | |
| | |
| | |
CALL CKOPEN (filetable, status) <--------------------- FORTRAN format
|
