Consuming third party webservice using cobol

Hi,

We are on ED 5.0 but using gnt file as cobol executable created using mass compile done using cmd tool.

Currently for one application we were making db call to get values. This db was refreshed every day with latest value fram a file received from Customer.

Now Customer is in process of setting up 24×7 Rest webservice and we  need to consume this third party webservice to fetch data instead of db call.

I saw some articles/videos describing how to set up webservice at cobol side but nothing related to on how to make a consume third party webservice from Cobol program.

Is there a way to achieve this?
