Usage of cobol program in QTP

[Johnson, Tracy]

True, you would have to do something strange, like write the data to a
file with QTP then pick it up at a later time with COBOL.  Defining the
file structure in both programs would be a royal pain.  Then you'd have
to manage the sequence of events properly, either manually in or batch.
Depending how often you'd have to switch between the two programs.  It
would be less trouble just to stick with COBOL.

You can, but there is no connection between the COBOL program and QTP.
In other words, you can't pass data back and forth.

Why can't you do a Shell command  like "! cobol.sh" ?

You can't call a COBOL subroutine directly from QTP. There is no
equivalent of QUICK's DO EXTERNAL. There may be other techniques to run
a program as a subprocess but there would be no connection between the
COBOL program and QTP.
