Enscribe Applications
Enscribe Applications
Applications that access Enscribe files and records can be written in these languages,
which are supported on both TNS/R and TNS/E systems:
•
C and C++ languages
•
COBOL language
•
HP Transaction Application Language (TAL)
•
Portable Transaction Application Language (pTAL)
•
FORTRAN
When migrating Enscribe applications to an Integrity NonStop NS-series system, follow
these guidelines:
TNS/R Native Object Files of Enscribe Applications
Enscribe applications in C, C++, COBOL, and pTAL might be TNS/R native object files
(type 700). These native object files use process, memory, and reduced instruction-set
computing (RISC) architectures that are native to MIPS microprocessors and cannot
run on TNS/E systems, which use Itanium microprocessors. To migrate TNS/R native
applications to TNS/E systems, you must generate TNS/E native object files (type 800)
either by using the HP Enterprise Toolkit—NonStop Edition (ETK) connected to a
TNS/E host or by compiling the source code directly on the TNS/E system. You might
Note. Pascal programs are not supported on TNS/E systems. If you are migrating from a
NonStop S-series system with a D-series RVU to an Integrity NonStop NS-series system, you
must convert programs written in Pascal to a supported language.

Note. When migrating to an Integrity NonStop NS-series system, consider converting your
Enscribe database and applications to SQL/MP. For information about these services, see
