The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

I would always call a CL program from within the COBOL.
QCMDEXC is just so ugly
And CL is therefore by definition "pretty"? You are jesting surely.
No, but then compiled CL has the CL compiler to help with a number
of things. Granted, for trivial stuff like individual overrides, a
compiled module is more than what's needed. But I see too many
instances of multiple commands being constructed in strings and then
passed on to be 'interpreted' by QCMDEXC/QCAPCMD, plus the
supporting code to retrieve inner messages, plus excess code to
handle quoted values... etc.
A compiled CL module makes a lot of those things so much nicer. It
also allows some modularity, as well as providing an object that can
be tested independently.
This comment is more about _overuse_ of QCMDEXC/QCAPCMD than
appropriate use. Setting an override seems appropriate use.
