Building UNIX Micro Focus COBOL applications
sqllib/samples/cobol_mf
directory. The
directory also contains sample programs that you can build with these files.
You can find the commands to build a Db2 application program
in the bldapp
build file.About this task
The first parameter, $1
, specifies the
name of your source file. This is the only required parameter for
programs that do not contain embedded SQL. Building embedded SQL programs
requires a connection to the database so three optional parameters
are also provided: the second parameter, $2
, specifies
the name of the database to which you want to connect; the third parameter, $3
,
specifies the user ID for the database, and $4
specifies
the password.
For an embedded SQL program, bldapp
passes
the parameters to the precompile and bind script, embprep
.
If no database name is supplied, the default sample
database
is used. The user ID and password parameters are only needed if the
instance where the program is built is different from the instance
where the database is located.
client
, from the source file client.cbl
,
enter: bldapp client
The result is an executable
file client
. You can run the executable file against
the sample
database by entering: client
