AcuSQL offers a special runtime DLL for running the product with Microsoft SQL Server. Note that the pre-compiler is unchanged. To pre-compile COBOL programs with embedded SQL, use the procedures found in Pre-compiler Function and Use.
The new runtime DLL is named asqlsrvr.dll. You can use this DLL in two ways:
When getting runtime version information, in order to list the versions of the AcuSQL runtime DLLs, the runtime attempts to find and load all AcuSQL DLLs that it knows about. Currently these are esqllib.dll and asqlsrvr.dll. This is why changing the name of the DLL is not recommended.
ACUSQL_RUNTIME_DLL must be set in the configuration file; this variable cannot be set from the COBOL program. In addition, note that the value of ACUSQL_RUNTIME_DLL cannot be changed from the COBOL program once an AcuSQL command has been executed. In other words, it is not possible to use both esqllib.dll and asqlsrvr.dll in the same run unit.
When connecting to a server, the runtime DLL for the AcuSQL interface to SQL Server environments takes the name of the server, not the name of a datasource. Username and password information is used as described in Environment Variables.
The following statements are not supported by AcuSQL interface to Microsoft SQL Server:
All other statements are supported.
