Greetings,

I am working in HP3000 - COBOL environment. I have a socket call from a
client (Windows System). The client puts the request in my Socket port in
HP3000.

I am having a listener program in HP3000 which will be taking this request
from the port and spawning a child program. This child program will look at
the incoming request and call different programs for processing the request
based on the request type.

e.g.

My data request at the socket port is as follows FLIGHT70UPDATEPASSENGER100

In this case, FLIGHT70(First 8 bytes of the buffer at the port) is the
program which will be called from my child program (in turn spawned by
listener program)


Another data request at the socket could be FLIGHT80UPDATEPASSENGER100

In this case, FLIGHT80(First 8 bytes of the buffer at the port) is the
program which will be called from my child program (in turn spawned by
listener program)

In the above cases, my listener program will spawn and call programs
FLIGHT70 and FLIGHT80 and work parallely.

But in case the second request is also for program FLIGHT70, will the
programs parallely execute?

In short, is parallel processing possible in HP3000 - Cobol programs. If so,
can anyone pls. provide me with a sample code on how to do the same.

Any pointers to the same will also be higly helpful

Thanks for your vaulable time and response,
-Jay
