Figure 1-3 summarizes the steps in creating an executable
ALLBASE/SQL COBOL program from the files created by the COBOL
preprocessor.
Figure 1-3 Compile-Time and Link-Time Events
You must use native mode to compile and link your program. You
submit to the COBOL compiler a modified source code file and
related include files created by the preprocessor. The compiler
generates an object code module. To convert one or more object
code modules into an executable program, you link them by
invoking the linker. This step, known as program preparation,
creates an executable program file. Refer to Chapter 2 for more
information on compiling and linking.
In the next example, an executable program named SomeProg
is created after a module named Pgmr1@ACCTDB.SomeMod is
stored by the COBOL preprocessor in a DBEnvironment named
SomeDBE.GROUPDB.ACCTDB. The program is in the GROUPC group.
:HELLO PGMR1.ACCTDB,GROUPC
.
.
:RUN PSQLCOB.PUB.SYS; INFO = 'SomeDBE.GROUPDB
(MODULE(SOMEMOD))'
.
