Configuring the Environment for Developing RDBMS Applications on UNIX

Note:
  • If you are working with remote projects, you need to configure the environment before you start the remote server process.
  • On UNIX, if you are working with local projects, you need to configure the environment before you start Eclipse.
  1. Ensure the COBOL and the third-party software environments are set.
  2. Set up the RDBMS environment.

    Refer to your RDBMS vendor documentation for details.

  3. Set COBCPY as required in order for the IDE to locate any copybooks that are external to your project.
  4. If working with Pro*COBOL/Cobsql applications you need to set COBOPT. This sets the appropriate linker options for the platform and the COBOL working mode:

    To do this, execute the following at the command line:

    $COBDIR/src/oracle/set_cobopt_oracle
    COBOPT=$PWD/cobopt.ora
    export COBOPT
