nmcobol Utility: Using One Command for All
Compilation Steps
In addition to the options for preprocessing and compiling SQL/MX components,
nmcobol supplies SQL/MX environment variables that provide the path names for the
SQL/MX preprocessor (MXSQLCO) and the SQL/MX compiler (MXCMP and
MXCMPUM), in addition to the path name for definitions of the SQL call-level interface
(SQLCLIO). These CLI procedure calls, for the translated SQL statements in the
annotated COBOL source file, are required by the COBOL compiler. For more
information on nmcobol environment variables, see the Open System Services Shell
and Utilities Reference Manual.
SQL/MX Preprocessing
Use the -Wsqlmx[=args] command to invoke the SQL/MX preprocessor. For a full
description of how the OSS-hosted SQL/MX preprocessor works, see OSS-Hosted
SQL/MX COBOL Preprocessor on page 16-13.
Compiling COBOL Statements
Use the nmcobol utility to compile COBOL statements in a preprocessed file to create
a TNS/R native object file.
Your application program can run in the OSS or Guardian environment. Use the
nmcobol -Wsystype=oss option (which is the default) if you want your application to
be an OSS program. Use the nmcobol -Wsystype=guardian option if you want
your application to be a Guardian program. For more information, see Building
SQL/MX Guardian Applications in the OSS Environment on page 16-42.
SQL/MX Compiling
Use the -Wmxcmp[=args] command to invoke the SQL/MX compiler. For a full
description of how to use the SQL/MX compiler, see Running the SQL/MX Compiler on
page 16-22.
