Summary: Making mouse CALLs from COBOL is difficult, but possible. A mouse CALL requires a CALL to an Assembly that CALLs the mouse. Mouse CALLs must be in normal binary format, i.e., the reverse pattern of that used by COBOL. However, Microsoft COBOL Tools provides the ability CALL CBMOUSE routines. A demonstration program is provided with the product that illustrates this technique (MOUSE.COB).
