Cross Compiler Features

The native COBOL cross compiler allows you to:

•

Write, compile, and link these kinds of NonStop Itanium-based server applications

on the PC and transfer them to the OSS or Guardian platform for use in

production:

Executable programs

Static libraries

User libraries

DLLs

Object files built on the PC platform using the native COBOL compiler are

compatible with object files built on the NonStop Itanium-based server platform

using the ECOBOL compiler.

•

Link ECOBOL, TNS/E C/C++, and EpTAL objects into a single object file.

•

When multiple RVUs are installed, choose any installed RVUs of the cross

compilers, tools, and libraries.

•

On the ETK platform, enter ADD, MODIFY, SET, and DELETE statements into a

TACL DEFINE file [see TACL DEFINE Tool (ETK)].

•

Compile SQL/MP or SQL/MX statements embedded in native COBOL source

code.

Your PC must be connected to the NonStop host to perform certain SQL/MP or

SQL/MX compile-time operations and to run your applications.

The native COBOL cross compiler is delivered on a separate independent product CD

using Scout for NonStop Servers, but it is not available on the site update tape (SUT)

for the ECOBOL compiler.

Note. The native COBOL cross compiler version on your PC must be compatible with the

COBOL run-time library on your NonStop Itanium-based server.
