6 Explicit Program Compilation
This section describes the explicit compilation of an HP COBOL program containing
embedded SQL statements and directives in the Guardian, OSS, and PC host
environments using TNS and TNS/R compilation tools.

Compilation Methods
The HP COBOL compilers translate HP COBOL source programs into machine
language that is specific to a particular NonStop system architecture. Therefore, the
type of HP COBOL compiler that you use to compile your program determines the
NonStop system where you can run the program. For more information, see Table 6-2,
COBOL Compilation Mode and Execution Environment, on page 6-12.
You can compile a source program in TNS mode or native mode on a NonStop system.
A TNS-compiled program uses TNS process and memory architecture and consists of
TNS object code (TNS instructions), whereas a natively compiled program uses native
process and memory architecture and consists of native object code (RISC
instructions). The steps for compiling an embedded SQL/MP program for each
compilation mode are:
