<div><p>You must evaluate existing C applications for thread safety before
calling them in a multithreaded job. If your C program is not threadsafe,
techniques are available for calling programs that are not threadsafe from
multithreaded jobs.</p>
<div class="section"><p>Not all C library functions are threadsafe. Before
calling your existing C applications in a multithread-capable job, refer to
the <a href="../books/sc092712.pdf" target="_blank"><em>WebSphere<sup>®</sup> Development
Studio: ILE C/C++ Programmer's Guide, SC09-2712</em> PDF</a> <img src="wbpdf.gif" alt="Link to PDF" /> and <a href="../books/sc097852.pdf " target="_blank"><em>WebSphere Development Studio: C/C++ Language Reference,
SC09-4815</em> PDF</a><img src="wbpdf.gif" alt="Link to PDF" /> to determine whether all of your functions are threadsafe. </p>
</div>
<div class="section"><div class="p">When using programs that are written in C, use the following actions:<ul><li>Re-creation of Integrated Language Environment<sup>®</sup> (ILE)
C applications:<p>Compile and bind all existing ILE C applications with <span class="cmdname">TGTRLS(*CURRENT)</span> before
you call them in a multithreaded job.</p>
</li>
<li>Elimination of *NEW activation groups:<div class="p">You should not use *NEW activation
groups in multithreaded applications. <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> ACTGRP(*NEW) is the default on <span class="cmdname">CRTPGM</span> and <span class="cmdname">CRTBNDC</span> commands.</div>
</div>
</li>
<li>Calling ILE C *PGM objects:<p>If you need to call an ILE C *PGM object
that has an activation group of *NEW, either start another process to run
the second program or create the second program specifying a named activation
group.</p>
