4. Direct Calling LANSA Processes and Functions
What Is Direct Calling?
Direct calling is the method used to execute LANSA processes and functions without using the LANSA command or program.
This means that a user defined 3GL program written in RPG, CL, COBOL, PL/1 etc. can be used to directly invoke a LANSA process or function.
Prerequisites
If you use Direct Calling using these guidelines you must have a sound working knowledge of the LANSA product.
If you use this method to run LANSA applications, be very careful. Be absolutely sure of what you are doing. Do not bypass any part of these guidelines because they don't look important or seem pointless.
Disclaimer
All the information about directly invoking LANSA processes and functions has been tested and verified to the best of our ability. However, no guarantee or warranty is expressed or implied due to the many site defined variances that occur between LANSA installations.
The testing of applications invoked in this way is the responsibility of the user site.
