Hi all.

We have a situation where we need to communicate between COBOL programs and 
another application using TCP.  A suggestion was made to use an RPG program for 
the socket communications and the COBOL program to deal with the business 
logic, but it would be preferable to have the COBOL program handle the business 
logic AND the TCP sockets.

Does anyone have any examples or suggestions for using API's to open a TCP 
socket and transmit data to another application?

Thanks

Mike
