Running the COBOL85 Compiler in the OSS

Environment

cbl

cob

is a suffix identifying file.cbl or file.cob as a COBOL source program to

be compiled and (optionally) bound.

is a suffix identifying file.a as a library of object files (typically produced by

the ar utility) to be passed directly to the Binder.

is a suffix identifying file.o as an object file produced by a previous COBOL

compilation to be passed directly to the Binder.

is a suffix identifying file.so as a shared run-time library (SRL) produced by

the Binder. The Binder uses the SRL to resolve external references. You

cannot use file.so with the -WBstatic flag.

-l library

is a sequence of characters whose effect depends on the binding mode. If

static binding is selected (-WBstatic flag), the library liblibrary.a is

searched. If dynamic binding is selected (by default or by the -WBdynamic

flag), the library liblibrary.so is searched, and if it is not found, the library

liblibrary.a is searched. You can repeat this operand, specifying several

libraries. They are searched in the order specified.

If you specify a file name that includes one or more directory names, the

compiler searches that file. If you specify a string of characters without

backslashes (\), the compiler uses that to build the name as described

previously.

Table 6-1. OSS cobol Utility Flags (page 1 of 3)

-c Directs the cobol utility to compile the specified source

files but not to bind them or remove any object files that

are created.

For source files of the form file.cbl, create object files

of the form file.o in the current directory.

-g Directs the cobol utility to produce information for

symbolic debugging in the object or executable files.

-L directory Directs the cobol utility to search directory for the files

named in -l operands before searching for them in the

default places (/lib, /usr/lib, and

/usr/local/lib).

If you repeat this command, directories are searched in the

order specified.
