Support for compiling a COBOL program that includes SQL from an assembler program

The COBOL compiler provides a facility that enables you to invoke the COBOL compiler by using an assembler program.

If you intend to use the Db2 coprocessor and start the COBOL compiler from an assembler program as part of your Db2 application preparation, you can use the SQL compiler option and provide the alternate DBRMLIB DD name the same way that you can specify other alternate DD names. The Db2 coprocessor creates the DBRM member according to your DBRM PDS library and the DBRM member that you specified using the alternate DBRMLIB DD name.
