Developing Programs With System Tools
HP provides tools to develop source code and to generate and manage the object files.
Object code is generated with the SCREEN COBOL compiler. The resulting object files
are managed with the SCREEN COBOL Utility Program (SCUP).
Generating Object Files With the Compiler
To produce the SCREEN COBOL object files, you run the compiler run command
SCOBOLX. The compiler generates the object code according to the compiler
commands specified in the run command and in the source code.
The SCREEN COBOL compiler has three associated processes (SCOBOLX,
SCOBOLX2, and SYMSERV). These processes generate the object code, which is
written to two or three files depending on selected compile options. The SCOBOLX
