Set the OpenESQL Assistant Type COBOL Variable

Provides the steps required to set configuration options for the OpenESQL Assistant.

You can configure several features within OpenESQL Assistant, but for the purposes of this tutorial, you change just the value of the Type COBOL Variable setting. This setting determines the method used at run time to resolve host variable definitions. By setting this option to Object, your compiled application communicates with the OpenESQL Managed run-time, greatly improving performance.

  1. In Visual Studio, click Tools > Options, expand Micro Focus Tools and select OpenESQL Assistant.
  2. Change the value of Type COBOL Variable from Standard to Object; then click OK.
