Hi Rob

We are using batch Pro*Cobol programs running on OS/390 which connects via SQL*Net to an Oracle on Sun database. You don't need a RDBMS on the mainframe to accomplish this but you will need a TNS subsystem which is needed to open a remote SQL*Net connection. If you want to use Pro*Cobol you will also need the pre-compilers for OS/390.

Regards,
Nico

...

        Please pardon my ignorance ...

        I am currently investigating the possibility of implementing an Oracle database

	on a SUN box. We have a batch DB2
	application suite which we would like to leave on our OS/390.
However, rather
	than talk to a DB2 database, we would
	like it to talk to the Oracle database on the SUN box.

	Is it possible for the batch application to communicate with Oracle
on the SUN?
	Is it possible without having an RDBMs on the OS/390?
	What components do we need to achieve this?

	Answers to any of these questions would be greatly appreciated.

	Thanks
	Rob
