Calling VMS Alpha COBOL program from Java running in Windows
Is it possible to call a COBOL program running in a VMS Alpha system from my java program that runs in a Windows system?
(The two system are in the same network, I am able to user fpt and telnet from the Windows system to de VMS Alpha, etc)
Maybe this is not the proper Forum, that's why I'm also posting this in the Networking forum.

In theory, you need an intermediate language so that both Cobol and Java can interact with each other. I have never heard of a COBOL being used to interact with Java. It requires a consortium to create a specification documentation and then implement that specification so that both cobol and java can work together.
If you can find that specification of an intermediate language being used for COBOL, then it is possible to call a method in COBOL.
