Summary: The communication facilities involving the message control system (MCS) and communication section in Microsoft COBOL can be used only under MS-DOS. They are not designed for use under MS OS/2. The communication facilities allow COBOL programs to communicate with each other through network sessions. They are described in Chapter 10 of the “Microsoft COBOL 3.0: Operating Guide” for versions 3.00 and 3.00a. This information applies to Microsoft COBOL Compiler versions 3.00 and 3.00a for MS-DOS and MS OS/2.
