<p>The Change COBOL Main Program (QLRCHGCM) API allows you to create an
|
|
additional run unit by assigning a different System/36-compatible COBOL,
|
|
System/38-compatible COBOL, or iSeries OPM COBOL/400 program to serve as a main
|
|
program. You can call it from any programming language.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Note:</strong> By creating more than one run unit, you cantreat
|
|
files, storage, and error conditions differently than you would using an
|
|
ordinary subprogram.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>After you call this API, the next nonactive COBOL program that runs becomes
|
|
the main program in a new run unit. An active COBOL program is a program that
|
|
has been called, and is not in its initial state.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In the following example, System/38-compatible COBOL Program A calls iSeries
|
|
COBOL/400 Program B. Because Program A is the first COBOL program, it is the
|
|
main COBOL program.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>COBOL Program B is a menu program that calls CL Program C.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Program C must start a new COBOL application that will pass control back to
|
|
it, regardless of error conditions. To accomplish this, Program C calls the
|
|
QLRCHGCM API before calling the new COBOL application.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When program C calls the new COBOL application in the form of Program D,
|
|
Program D becomes the main program in a new run unit. When Program D's run unit
|
|
ends, control returns to the original run unit, and Program A becomes the
|
|
current main program again.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If, at the time a run unit is created, a program is active as a subprogram
|
|
in an existing run unit, and this program is then called within the new run
|
|
unit, it will be made available in its last-used state.</p>
