INF: Creating .GNT Files with Embedded SQL for COBOL

ID Number: Q72945

1.10 1.11 4.20

OS/2

Summary:

It is possible to create .GNT files for use with the Micro Focus

resident run-time system that include Embedded SQL for COBOL

code.

More Information:

To modify the SQLDOS program example shipped with the Embedded SQL for

COBOL Developer's Kit for use under MS-DOS as a .GNT file, add the

following line directly after the PROCEDURE DIVISION header:

CALL "SQLINTF.EXE"

For OS/2, use:

CALL "SQLINTF.DLL"

This will load the Embedded SQL for COBOL support into the Micro Focus

resident run-time system. To compile this code into a .GNT file, use

the following compiler syntax for either MS-DOS or OS/2:

COBOL sqldos.cbl sql nosqlaccess nosqldb nosqlpass nosqlinit OMF(GNT);

The program is then executed with the Micro Focus Toolset command RUN

SQLDOS in either MS-DOS or OS/2. Please note that under MS-DOS, this

assumes that the COBPOOL environment variable is set to at least 10.

This can be done by typing SET COBPOOL=10 at the MS-DOS or Micro Focus

prompt.
