Introduction to Guardian Procedure Calls
Guardian Procedure Calls Reference Manual—522629-013

You can also call Guardian procedures from programs written in FORTRAN, BASIC,
COBOL, or C++. How a Guardian procedure is called depends on the programming
language. Some languages provide extensions for calling Guardian procedures. Some
languages (other than TAL) allow your code to contain TAL code that calls Guardian
procedures using TAL syntax. For information on calling the Guardian procedures
described in this manual from other languages, refer to the appropriate manual:
For applications written in programming languages other than TAL, be cautious about
using TAL to call Guardian procedures. This method of invoking the services provided
by Guardian procedures can interfere with the run-time environment established for the
programming language. If possible, use an extension of your programming language
instead of embedded TAL code to invoke a Guardian service (such as reading from or
writing to a file).
