GO LANGUAGE

[Felicity Vaughan]

Has anyone got GO language working under Endevor.  It compiles under Unix, so the trick would be to add it to Endevor which would then compile it in Unix under the covers and then somehow send the Load module back to Endevor so that we can ship it everywhere from our standard mainframe libraries, via packaging.

Hi Felicity,

Does the vendor of "GO" have any non-Endevor compile and link sample JCL?

As a start, you can take the vendor provided JCL and Endevor-ize it into Generate, Move and Delete processors.

Will the executables run on traditional z/OS or will they run on z/OS Unix System Services?

Regards,  

Phil

The IBM SDK for Go runs only in USS and isn't really ported to z/OS (it
runs the same as it would under Linux for z). So there is no JCL, all of
Go is shell commands. You would have to figure out how to run it using the
BPXBATCH utility and the ramifications for file and address space usage
that BPXBATCH has (varies with your system parms, such as SPAWN and SHAREAS
options. Definitely doable but requires proper setup so it isn't like
other Endevor processors in how it runs in USS.

The good news is that the 2nd part of your question, shipping Go
executables, is fully supported by Endevor. See
