No need to write an intermediate program in C. As long as the Cobol pgm is written with the correct calling convention, it can be called directly by any language that can call a routine written in C. As a matter of fact, I have some DLL's I wrote in cobol that are being called by both PowerBuilder and VisualBasic in exactly the same way they call Windows API functions.
