				Hi all,
 
 
Does anybody knows a C compiler and a COBOL compiler that work with MQ and can be downloaded for free?
 
 
Thanks   _________________ Warm Regards,

				Just remember that "works" and "supported" are very different things. 
 
 
eg. I would expect almost any C compiler to "work" but there are very few supported (customer demand / requirements). C++ is trickier because name mangling is different on different compilers sometimes, so we end up producing libraries for each compiler. 
 
 
You also didnt mention a platform.... eg. WMQ for Linux (Intel) seems to support GNU C, which is free (http://www-306.ibm.com/software/integration/mqfamily/platforms/supported/wsmq_for_linux_intel_5_3.html) |

				The platform is Windows 2000 box, and the support needed is very simple, just for an informal training. _________________ Warm Regards,

				Borland is also making it's C compiler available for free.  I don't know how compatible it is with MQSeries these days, though. _________________ I am *not* the model of the modern major general. |

				Did you review the collection of compilers for Windows at my web site?
 
 
I have used all with MQ (except for Perl).  I currently use MinGW with Eclipse for C development and Sun's JDK with Eclipse for Java development. 
 
 
Note: The Fujitsu COBOL compiler is free for "educational use".
 
 
The web site is at:

				Thought this would be an appropriate addition to this post...
 
 
Free! Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003
 
 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/
 
 
The Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 includes the core tools developers need to compile and link C++-based applications for Windows and the .NET Common Language Runtime:
 
 
    * Microsoft C/C++ Optimizing Compiler and Linker.  These are the same compiler and linker that ship with Visual Studio .NET 2003 Professional!
 
    * C Runtime Library and the C++ Standard Library, including the Standard Template Library.  These are the same static-link libraries included with Visual Studio. 
 
    * Microsoft .NET Framework Common Language Runtime.  Visual C++ can optionally build applications that target the Common Language Runtime (CLR). 
 
    * Sample code.  The toolkit includes four samples designed to showcase the powerful new features of the 2003 version, including new optimization capabilities, features to improve code-security and robustness, enhanced ISO C++ standards support, and the ability to use the .NET Framework library and target the CLR. _________________ Michael
