This document guides you through the new installation of a CallAPI for BS2000.
A CallAPI for BS2000 is supplied with AE. This interface enables calls in AE from your own programs, which can be written in programming languages such as C, COBOL, or Assembler. UCXBB2?C serves as a utility that can be called from a procedure or enter job, for example.
A one-character code has been assigned for each supported BS2000 variant. This code is used in some CallAPI file names. In this document, the specific code is replaced by "?."
You can specify the CodeTable that should be used in the INI file of the BS2000 CallAPI. Enter the name of the CodeTable object in the section [GLOBAL] of the parameter codetable=.
To Install the CallAPI for BS2000
