nmcobol Examples With Module Definition Files
Figure 16-4 shows how the nmcobol utility compiles a COBOL program with module
definition files.
•
These commands preprocess, compile, link, and SQL compile a single COBOL
source file:
nmcobol -Wsqlmx -Wsqlmxadd=-x -Wmxcmp -o sqlprog.exe \
sqlprog.ecob sqlprog.m
The nmcobol utility invokes the preprocessor, mxsqlco, which uses the file
sqlprog.ecob as input and produces two files: sqlprog.cbl and sqlprog.m.
