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.
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.
• 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) (page 970)].
• 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.
NonStop COBOL for TNS/E (ETK)
The optional native COBOL cross compiler for use with the ETK is called NonStop COBOL for
TNS/E. The ETK is a GUI-based extension package to Visual Studio.NET that provides full
application development functions targeted for NonStop servers. From the GUI, you can choose
