Passing parameters to programs in other languages

Thanks to the use of COBOL prototypes, it is also possible to write programs in other languages. In such cases, all the possibilities of the extended CALL Format 3 are available when these programs are called (see the “COBOL2000 Reference Manual” [1]). Otherwise only the restricted possibilities of Format 1 and Format 2 can be used.

More details on parameter passing can be found in the “CRTE User Guide” [2].
