Multithreading

["Metz, Zak" <Zak_Metz@xxxxxx>]

IANACD*, so I would appreciate high-level replies...
 
My company is interested in converted some existing COBOL programs to
support multiple threads. Based on my research in the "iSeries
Multithreaded Applications" section of the info center and the "ILE
COBOL Programmer's Guide" for v5r2, am I correct in understanding that
the extent to which ILE COBOL supports threading is module
serialization? The existing program is one big module with lots and lots
of paragraphs. Would that have to be broken up into multiple modules to
be able to thread the program? Your "COBOL Threading for Dummies"-style
replies are very much appreciated!
