Compiling Embedded SQL COBOL Programs With Embedded
Module Definitions
Figure 16-1 shows how a self-contained, single-file COBOL program is compiled using
embedded module definitions. The application’s embedded SQL source file is called
sqlprog.ecob.
Although this figure shows individual steps for clarity, you can use the COBOL compiler
utility (nmcobol) or the HP Enterprise Toolkit—NonStop Edition (ETK) to automate the
