AIX Micro Focus COBOL application compile and link options

The compile and link options for building COBOL embedded SQL and Db2® API application with the Micro Focus COBOL for AIX® compiler are available in the bldapp build script. Note that the Db2 Micro Focus COBOL include files are found by setting up the COBCPY environment variable, so no -I flag is required in the compile step. Refer to the bldapp script for an example.
