Compiling Embedded SQL COBOL Programs With Module
Definition Files
Figure 16-2 shows how a COBOL program with separate module definition files is
compiled. The application’s embedded SQL source file is called sqlprog.ecob.
Although this figure shows the individual steps for clarity, you can use the COBOL
compiler utility (nmcobol) or ETK to automate the process. For more information on
using nmcobol in this way, see nmcobol Utility: Using One Command for All
Compilation Steps on page 16-29. For more information on ETK, see ETK online help.
These steps correspond to the steps in Figure 16-2
on page 16-6.
