Interfacing to TNS COBOL on page 7-30
This section describes the Common Run-Time Environment (CRE) and the C interface
declarations that are necessary to interface to other programming languages. The CRE
and C interface declarations are HP features for NonStop systems that are not
available in standard ISO/ANSI C.
TNS programs in the Guardian environment can contain routines written in TNS
COBOL, FORTRAN, TAL, TNS C, and D-series Pascal. TNS programs in the OSS
environment can contain routines written in TNS COBOL, TAL, TNS C, and TNS C++.
Applications that include modules written in other languages can also be compiled in
the Guardian environment to run in the OSS file system (see Binding a C Module on
page 14-6). For a comparison of TNS and TNS/R native mixed-language
programming, see Differences Between Native and TNS Mixed-Language Programs
on page 8-24
Introducing the CRE
The Common Run-Time Environment (CRE) is a set of services that supports mixed-
language programs. The CRE library is a collection of routines that implements the
CRE. The CRE library enables the language-specific run-time libraries to coexist
peacefully with each other. User routines and run-time libraries call CRE library
routines to access shared resources managed by the CRE, such as the standard files
(input, output, and log) and the user heap, regardless of language.
