Cross Compiler Features

The native COBOL cross compiler allows you to:

•

Write, compile, and link these kinds of NonStop RISC-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 (ETK, RVU G06.20 and later)

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

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

the NMCOBOL compiler.

•

Link NMCOBOL, C/C++, and pTAL 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 and TDS platforms, enter ADD, MODIFY, SET, and DELETE

statements into a TACL DEFINE file [see TACL DEFINE Tool (ETK and TDS)].

•

On the ETK and command-line platforms, 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 NMCOBOL compiler.

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

COBOL run-time library on your NonStop RISC-based server. For TDS, see the PC

COBOL file README. For ETK, see the softdoc for the RVU.
