                      ORACLE-L

We have a future need to create an Oracle database on a mainframe (MVS) which will then pull data from an Oracle database on an HPUX box. I know nothing about MVS so does anyone know of any connectivity problems between the two boxes? For example, SQL*Net does come with the server on MVS, correct? Does Pro*Cobol also exist on MVS? Would the connection from MVS to HPUX be a simple as creating a database link or are there more problems than that?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Tom
