INF: Creating .GNT Files with Embedded SQL for COBOL

ID: Q72945


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Embedded SQL for COBOL, version 4.2


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.
