The KDCS interface was defined and standardized (DIN 66 265) as a non-proprietary interface for transaction-oriented applications.
It offers the following features:
a comprehensive range of function calls which can be used universally(e.g. for pseudo-conversations, message queuing, or direct communication with terminals)
KDCS-specific storage areas for simple, reliable programming
event management functions
KDCS is available for C, C++ and COBOL, and on BS2000 systems for Assembler, Fortran,PL/I and Pascal-XT.
| Detailed information on the KDCS program interface can be found in the openUTM manual “Programming Applications with KDCS for COBOL, C, and C++”. Separate supplementary manuals are also provided online for the additional programming languages supported on BS2000 systems. |
