In this section, you will learn how to use the VisualAge parts for accessing external functions and programs. Parts for accessing C and COBOL functions and programs are included in VisualAge.
You will also learn how to access external functions from scripts that do not have VisualAge dependencies and can be used in both VisualAge and non-VisualAge applications.
The VisualAge parts related to external functions and programs are:
External Functions category
Program Starter
C External Function
COBOL External Function
