Slightly OT - How to concatenate multi line strings in DEC COBOL

by sampsa＠mac.com

Well I always wanted to play with COBOL lol. It's just infuriating how there's no decent docs on how to call a damn C function anywhere. I mean there is for DEC UNIX COBOL, but not VMS.

Ah, That for example calling C from COBOL is for OSF/1 only. I wonder how one does this on VMS..

Unfortunately that's the opposite way, C -> COBOL. Going to look on that website.
