Hi

I have a quick question.

In VB.Net I can set an MQEnviroment.hostname="xxxxxxxxxx"

How do I do this in COBOL on windows? I am not a COBOL programmer so please be gentle with me.

I have looked in the manuals but don't find anything that tells me. Is it even possible?

Is the only way I can do this in COBOL to do it outside of the program?

Which COBOL?

This would be an implementation specific answer, as it would end up having to call a Windows API function.

That is, AcuCOBOL for Windows will have one answer and IBM's COBOL for Windows (Visual Age?) will have another.

So I would look at the COBOL documentation a little better.

Edit:

Sorry. The answer above is for setting an Environment variable.

Reading the question a little better...

In COBOL you will not use MQEnvironment. Instead, it is a lot more like writting a C/C++ MQ program - you use MQCONN or MQCONNX and etc.

There are sample programs in COBOL provided with the rest of the MQ sample code - look at amq0get0.cbl and amq0put0.cbl.
