Building applications and routines written in COBOL

You are provided with build scripts for various operating systems for your Db2® product. You can build embedded SQL applications written in COBOL with these files. Aside from build scripts that you can use to build applications there is a specific bldrtn script so that you can build routines, such as stored procedures and user defined functions.

When working with applications written in the Micro Focus COBOL language on Linux®, be sure to configure the compiler to be able to access certain COBOL shared libraries. IBM® COBOL samples are provided and can be found in the sqllib/samples/cobol directory for UNIX and sqllib\samples\cobol directory for Windows, for the Micro Focus COBOL samples directories replace the 'cobol' at the end of the path with 'cobol_mf'.
