Programming Considerations for Routines
This section describes programming languages supported for each type of routine, as well as other related considerations.
Programming Languages
Teradata FastLoad is written in:
In all cases, INMOD and notify exit routines are dynamically loaded at run time, rather than link‑edited into the Teradata FastLoad module. The programming languages listed in Table 13 can be used to write INMOD and notify exit routines, depending on the platform that runs Teradata FastLoad.
Table 13 lists the programming languages supported.

Note: Although it is neither certified nor supported, INMOD routines in COBOL can be written on network‑attached client systems if the Micro Focus COBOL for UNIX compiler is used. However, INMOD and OUTMOD routines written in C/C++ are strongly recommended.
