COBOL compilation on
Unix
To
compile COBOL on UNIX:
1.
Take backup of existing COBOL files (cblbin)
Note. When you
bring patches up from the file server, the files need to have a lowercase cbl
extension and an uppercase program name, as in PATCH.cbl.
2. Run the
below to set the respective environment variables
PATH=$PATH:/app/microfocus/cobol/bin;
export PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/app/microfocus/cobol/lib;
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
COBDIR=/app/microfocus/cobol; export COBDIR
PS_HOME=<Path_To_PS_HOME>;
export PS_HOME
3.
Change to the PS_HOME/setup directory:
cd
$PS_HOME/setup
4.
To compile all the COBOL source dynamically, issue the command:
./pscbl.mak
The
dynamic compile creates INT, LST, and GNT files, which are copied to these
locations:
*.INT
-> PS_HOME/src/cbl/int
*.LST
-> PS_HOME/src/cbl/lst
*.GNT
-> PS_HOME/cblbin
Recompiling COBOL on
UNIX:
COBOL
recompilation is required in the following situations:
•
Any COBOL programs change
•
The supported COBOL compiler changes
•
You change the version of your RDBMS
•
You change your version of your operating system
•
You apply a patch or a fix
Note.
Remember, you must always use your file server as the source repository for
your COBOL. You should download any patches and apply any customizations to the
file server, and disseminate them from there.
You
can compile a single COBOL program dynamically by using this command syntax:
./pscbl.mak
<PROGRAM NAME WITHOUT "cbl" EXTENSION>
For
example,
./pscbl.mak
PTPDBTST compiles
the lone file PTPDBTST.
Note. If you
want to recompile all your COBOL, you can follow the procedure described
earlier.
See
“Compiling COBOL Programs.”
The
compile should run without errors until it completes. After the script is
complete, check the destination directories for the newly created files in PS_HOME/src/cbl/int,
PS_HOME/src/cbl/lst, and PS_HOME/cblbin.
They
should have a length greater than zero as well as a current date and time
stamp.
Note.
You can also use pscbl.mak PTP or pscbl.mak PTP* to compile all source files
that start with PTP.
