inquiry was answered:
"I am trying to call the code1 code C1MATCHL from a C program.
C1MATCHL uses the following COBOL Copy members (P9IN, P9OUT, P9AUDIT).
In the C program, can I define structures equivalent to the COBOL
Copy members (P9IN, P9OUT, P9AUDIT) and then call C1MATCHL using
these structures as input variables? Do we need any API for doing
this task?"
