Prepare COBOL programs

 

Notes to users

1. 32 bit COBOL copy books are installed in the following directory:

   /usr/mqm/inc/cobcpy32

   and symbolic links are created in:

   /usr/mqm/inc

2. 64 bit COBOL copy books are installed in the following directory:

   /usr/mqm/inc/cobcpy64

3. In the following examples set COBCPY to:

   /usr/mqm/inc/cobcpy32

   for 32 bit applications, and:

   /usr/mqm/inc/cobcpy64

   for 64 bit applications.

You need to link your program with one of the following:

Library file	Program/exit type
libmqmcb.a	Server for COBOL
libmqicb.a	Client for COBOL
libmqmcb_r	Server for COBOL (threaded application)

We can use the IBM COBOL Set compiler or Micro Focus COBOL compiler depending on the program:

• Programs beginning amqm are suitable for the Micro Focus COBOL compiler, and

• Programs beginning amq0 are suitable for either compiler.

• Preparing COBOL programs using IBM COBOL Set for AIX
  

• Preparing COBOL programs using Micro Focus COBOL
