Calling DOS/WINDOWS program from MF Cobol

by Bill <edison@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Apr 27, 2006 at 09:56 AM

Hi-

    We are augmenting our student records system with a do***ent imaging 
system. Some of the folders to be indexed are huge and slow going. We 
can greatly speed this up by using a batch indexing routine but this 
would still need at least aminimum amount of input to be useful. On top 
of this, our current student records system will shortly be traded for 
another one.  We decided to use Borland Delphi to write an interface to 
generate a batch-indexing file that can be used by the imaging system to 
im****t and index the images by itself, so all we have to do is scan and 
provide a minimum amount of information which can be passed to the 
Delphi routine by our MFCobol program as it adds info to the student 
records system. When the Student records system is replaced with the
new one, we will hopefully be left with the small task of adapting the 
DELPHI program to the new system instead of modifying the code in the 
new system. The Delphi program is a standard DOS type 'EXE' (well, at 
least you can run it from a command prompt but it also works from 
Windows Explorer...etc...) but how do I call it from a micro focus cobol 
program? CBL_EXEC_INIT_UNIT?  Anyone got an example?

Thanks in advance-
Bill
