Compiling COBOL

I tried compiling a sample cobol program (with embedded sql) with precompiler pro*COBOL for Oracle 8i. I used IBM visual Age for COBOl as the compiler. I was able to pre compile and compile the sample program provided with Oracle demo
(precomp/demo/procob2) . I got the following linker error
_SQLADR@8 could not resolve ..
_SQLADRVC@12 """"
_SQLBEX@0  etc...
Could anyone help me in linking this.. I just have one library included (ORASQL8.lib)
Thanks and Regards,
Lal Praksh..

Hi Todd/Ed,
We have one more doubt on which we need your help..
We are using AIX 6.1,Oracle 11g and all are 64 bit. MFCOBOL which we are using is 32 bit.While compling the code we are switching to 64 bit by using the command cobmode -s 64 and trying to run tuxbuild all+ command and we are encountering the errors which i have metioned in my earlier posts.
As vac.cfg file was missing we copied older versions as vac.cfg and tried to complie the codes again.we encountered the following error.
"BS-710b2.c", line 128.10: 1506-296 (S) #include file "mainexit.h" not found.
cob64: error(s) in C compilation: BS-710b2.c
so we added a script mainexit.h with cobinit() function declaration in the current directory.
As we tried with tuxbuild all command we are facing this error.

  • Compiling COBOLs in PSOVM - psrun.mak error - "cob64: can not execute Id".

    Hi All,
    After installing PeopleSoft OVM in our server, I need to recompile the COBOL. I believe this is not included in the OVM. These are the steps I did.
    1. Installed Microfocus Server Express 5.0 WrapPack 4
    2. Follow the steps in Compiling Cobol in Unix mentioned is the PeopleTools_8.50_Installation_Oracle guide.
    I was able to successfully compille the COBOL files by running ./pscbl.mak. The next step is Linking COBOL Components on UNIX by running ./psrun.mak and here I got the error:
    +./psrun.mak - linking PSRUN for oel-5-x86_64, Version 2.6.18-92.0.0.0.1.el5xen ...+
    +./psrun.mak - Error(s) encountered creating PSRUN!+
    +./psrun.mak - See /opt/oracle/psft/appbatch/tools/setup/psrun.err for messages+

    cob64: can not execute ld
    +[root@pshcm91ab setup]#+
    I followed all the steps in setting environment variable mention in the "Compiling Cobols in Unix" in PeopleTools_8.50_Installation_Oracle.
    Is there any specific documentation of compiling COBOLs in PeopleSoft OVM?
    Can anyone help me with this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Ok, I reproduce your case :
    [psadm1@psovmab setup]$ ./psrun.mak
    ./psrun.mak - linking PSRUN for oel-5-x86_64, Version 2.6.18-92.0.0.0.1.el5xen ...

    cob64: can not execute ld
    [psadm1@psovmab setup]$It looks like a lot of rpm packages required by ld are missing on Peoplesoft OVM App/Batch server compared to the Peoplesoft OVM database server for instance.
    I added a lot of packages because of the dependendcies as below :

  • FSCM9.0: Compiling COBOL Issue

    Folks,
    Hello. I am working on FSCM 9.0 General Ledger module to post Journal entries. I compiled COBOL using this command:
    c:\PS_HOME\setup>cblbld c: \temp\compile unicode
    The above command is supposed to copy all of source code from "PS_HOME\src\cbl" to "PS_HOME\temp\compile" and then create directory "PS_HOME\cblbinu". But the following message comes up:
    "Windows cannot open this file unicode.cfg. To open this file, Windows need to know what program created it. Windows can go online to look it up automatically. Or you manually select from a list of program on your computer."
    I select WordPad to open unicode.cfg and there is only one line in this file that is "[Unicode] Unicode=1".
    After that, an error message comes up:"Unicode COBOL compilation proceeding. Logging progress to file c:\temp\compile\CBLBLD.LOG. \temp\compile was unexpected at this time "
    Do any folks understand how to fix the above problem ? Exact procedure to compile COBOL for FSCM 9.0 in Windows ?
    Thanks.

    Please refer to the PeopleTools installation guide for the variables required and compile instructions. Also make sure that you use double quotes (") around the directory names when compiling via a DOS box. When the directory path has spaces you need to double quote the path (ie. "c:\program files\microfocus\").

  • Installing and Compiling COBOL on Windows

    Hi, I am at Installing and Compiling COBOL on Windows of PeopleTools_8.52_Installation_Oracle.pdf. After I typed in (basic syntax from pdf):
    CBLMAKE.BAT [] [ALL] [wildcard filename[ALL]] [wildcard filename | wildcard filename without extension[INT | GNT | EXE]] [EBCDIC] [LIST]
    This error appears:
    'wildcard' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.
    Any advise? Thanks

    but now my step is after this already---> cblsrc PS_HOME C:\temp\compile
    After this step, it asks me to change directories to the compile directory which i think is (cd C:\temp\compile), and run CBLMAKE.BAT, using the basic syntax..... and I got that error... How can I do about it?

    I was able to find the solution for this error in metalink [https://support.oracle.com/CSP/main/article?cmd=show&type=NOT&id=660015.1]
    However, I got another error. See below.
    I think PSOVM is in Unicode but I compiled my COBOL as non unicode. This is because there's no unicode.cfg in $PS_HOME/setup. Can I just create a dummy file unicode.cfg so that pscbl.mak will compile the COBOL as unicode?
    Is there workaround on this? Thanks.

  • FSCM 9.0: COBOL program does not post a Journal into Ledger correctly

    Folks,
    Hello. I am working on FSCM 9.0 General Ledger module. To FSCM 9.0, we need to compile COBOL by ourself.
    I downlaod and install "MS Visual Studio 2005 professional" and "Micro Focus Net Express 5.0". Then compile COBOL successfully. The executable files are copied to PS_HOME\CBLBINU.
    Editing Journal is working correctly as follows:
    General Ledger > Journal > Creare/Update Journal -> Add -> Line -> Edit Journal ->Process, Total amount comes up correctly and Journal status becomes "V". All debit accounts and Credit accounts are posted into Database PS_JRNL_LN table correctly.
    But posting Journal is not working correctly as follows:
    In Journal Line page, after select Post Journal -> Process, Journal status becomes "P". But when check Database table PS_Ledger using select * from PS_LEDGER, only Debit accounts of a journal are posted into PS_LEDGER table, all Credit accounts of a journal are not posted into PS_LEDGER.
    Because posting a journal into PS_LEDGER table only debit accounts and no credit accounts, all general reports, such as Trial balance, cannot be generated.
    Thus, my questions are:
    First, does COBOL program GLPPPOST.exe have a problem ? If yes, how to solve it ?
    Second, do I set up something incorrectly in General Ledger module and cause only Debit accounts of a journal are posted into PS_LEDGER table and not Credit accounts ?
    Thanks.

    Folks,
    Hello. The question is solved by myself. Thanks.

  • How to recompile the COBOL files?

    Hi All,
    Can any one provide documentation for how to recompile the COBOL files by using Net Express 5.1 in command prompt?
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Siva Prasad B

    1. Set up two environment variables, PS_HOME and COBROOT, on the machine from which you'll compile COBOL. (This should be either your file server or a machine that has access to your file server.) You can do this from a DOS command prompt window.
    set PS_HOME=C:\hr840
    set COBROOT=c:\netexpress\base
    2. Open a DOS command prompt window if you do not have one open already, and change directories to
    <PS_HOME>\Setup.
    3. Execute CBLBLD.BAT as follows
    cblbld <compile drive> <compile directory>
    where <compile drive> is the drive where the compile takes place, <compile directory> is the temp
    directory where the compile takes place
    The CBLBLD.BAT file will create the compile directory for you if it does not already exist.
    Note. Make sure to include a space between the <compile drive> and <compile directory> parameters; they are treated as two different parameters within the CBLBLD.BAT batch program. Also ensure that you have write permission to <compile drive> and <compile directory> as the compile process will take place there.
    For example, the following command will take the COBOL source from <PS_HOME>\src\cbl and do the compile process under c:\temp\compile:
    cblbld c: \temp\compile
    Make note of the information that is displayed on the screen while the process is running; it provides the locations of important files that you will need to examine.

  • COBOL and Java

    Hello to everybody.
    My problem consist in calling a compiled COBOL module from a Java servlet/program. In Windows I know I usually use the NetExpress library for doing it, but now I have to move in a UNIX environment... Does someone know how to do it inside a LINUX/UNIX environment ?
    Thank you very much in advance for your help

    And you are going to move the cobol code to the unix box and recompile right? That is the only way the cobol will run on unix.
    Java does not talk to cobol.
    Java does however do JNI. That allows java to call a C method. C code can do many things. Like talk to interfaces which talk to cobol. I have no idea how to do that.
    You might also check the vendor of the cobol that you are running. They might have a java interface. (It will still be JNI but at least you won't have to write it.)
    Alternatively if the cobol will remain on the windows box then that is an entirely different story.

  • Cobol on OEL 5

    Hello,
    I have got a specific requirement of running a COBOL code on EL5. Not sure if GCC includes the compiler for COBOL.
    Currently what I can think of installing openCOBOL in EL5 server and hand it over to developers.
    From what I think need to do is, compile COBOL code using openCOBOL which will give "C" compatible code. Then GCC will take care.
    Please let me know, if there is any specific solution for retrofitting legacy softwares/code in OEL.
    Thanks & Regards,

    And I remember the Y2K frenzy and its relation with the Cobol.
    regardsWhich really had nothing at all to do with cobol. It had to do with how systems had been designed to store and deal with dates. It was perceived as a "cobol problem" simply because most of the code in use was in cobol. Nobody mentions that most of the remediation was was also in cobol - which puts the lie to the assertion that it was a cobol issue to start with. Dates were generally stored in fields defined as PIC 9(6), only allowing for 2 digits for the year. There was nothing about cobol that prevented storing a date in a PIC 9(8) field to preserve the century component as well. It just wasn't common practice because at the time the systems were designed, storage was expensive. The lesson for systems designers is that code changes all the time but data structures live nearly forever, so one must design the data with very long time windows in mind.
    I had an interesting discussion a few months ago with a young programmer who expressed the opinion that the Y2K scare was just a big to-do over nothing. His evidence was that nothing really seemed to happen. (he was in junior high at the time) I informed him that while there had been some wild claims, the problem was very real and that the reason nothing seemed to happen was because armies of programmers like myself spent two years working to make sure that was the case.

  • MicroFocus Netexpress Cobol on Windows 7

    I have a windows 7 professional and I've installed PS 9.1/PT 8.50 on it;
    Trying to install MicroFocus Net Express Cobol (5.1 ot 5.0) on Windows 7..
    I am unable to complete it, as it says it is needs a prereq of windows xp SP1 or later or windows 2000 sp4 or later etc
    Wondering to see if anyone got past through this message or have a workaround?
    thanks

    To compile COBOL you need a compiler (duh ;)) which is Micro Focus Net Express 5.1 for CC&B.
    You can find the required downloads on http://edelivery.oracle.com
    Install both Micro Focus Net Express 5.1 and the Wrappack.
    Keep in mind it is highly recommended to develop new customizations in Java instead of COBOL.

    ACU COBOL과 ORACLE INTERFACE
    ============================
    Machine : Sequent, HP, Pyramid, Ticom등
    o Development
    ACUCOBOL과 ORACLE 7을 interface하기위한 module을 만들기 위해 먼저
    "direct.c"에 31가지의 기능을 등록한다.
    Makefile은 "proc.mk"이며, 이를 이용하여 interface용 runtime을 만든다.
    interface module은 구분을 위하여 "rtsora"로 rename되어 있으며 "runcbl"로
    해도 상관 없다.
    o Testing
    test는 Oracle directory의 "procob/demo"를 이용 test하였다.
    8개의 test programs이 compile되었고, "rtsora"라는 runtime으로 실행된다.
    Pre-compile및 compile, 그리고 실행순서
    1) Pre-compile :
    procob iname=samplecob.pco oname=samplecob.cob ireclen=132 oreclen=132
    select_error=no
    혹은 make -f procob.mk samplecob
    2) Compile : "-da4" option을 사용하는 이유는 interface하는 data간의 size를
    ( align data )맞추어 주기 위해 사용된다.
    기타 option들은 그대로 사용 가능하다.
    ccbl -da4 -o samplecob.obj samplecob.cob
    3) 실행
    rtsora samplecob.obj
    cf.
    * Direct.C부분은 Oracle RDBMS와 함께 통신에 사용되는 응용프로그램을 31개의
    Oracle 기능을 지원하기 위해 수정되었다.
    makefile인 procob.mk와는 별도로 Makefile이라는 화일을 만들어 사용하였다.
    * Oracle의 PRO*COBOL 혹은 PRO*C가 제공하는 모든 Archieve들이 새로운
    runtime을 만들기 위해 필요하다.
    * Acucobol의 ccbl로 pre-compile된 source를 compile할 경우 주의할 사항은
    pre-compiler가 현재는 MF-COBOL용으로 set되어 있기 때문에 compile시 문법상
    errorr가 발생할 수 있다. 그러나 이는 간단한 source editing으로 해결된다.
    수정될 사항 :
    1) accept구문에서 comp로 선언된 변수를 accept받는다.
    2) Pre-compile된 cobol source문장내에서 01 level 의 변수값들이
    A area가 아닌 B area에 위치한다.
    3) Procedure Division구문에서 GIVING구는 지원하지 않는다.
    Acucobol-85의 Procedure Division구문의 Syntax
    Procedure Division
    [ {USING } {parameter1 . . . . } .
    {CHAINING }
    * interface module인 "rtsora"를 만들기 위한 Makefile기술
    1)Makefile의 내용 ( Makefile )
    # Makefile to create new version of "rtsora" based on
    # changes to "sub.c"

  • COBOL license

    Hello,
    I am currently looking into installing MicroFocus Server Express for my PeopleSoft FCM 9.1 demo installation running on OEL 5.5 (and HCM OVM templates down the line). However I am unsure about the licensing steps involved. I know there is an open 30day license available for the COBOL compiler, but what are the impacts on my system once this license expires? Once the compiler has an expired license, will all running COBOL programs inside PeopleSoft fail? Also does having this 30 day license mean I can run the COBOL programs inside PeopleSoft, or does it only provide me with compile capabilities and there is a separate runtime license?
    I am aware there is a runtime unlimited license patch (ULP) that can be obtained from Oracle on request, I would presume I need this patch installed once the compiler license expired to be able to continue running COBOL components (or preferably from the initial installation if the compiler license doesn't cover runtime), is that correct? Also if someone could provide details about licensing this patch besides that fact that I should contact Oracle via e-mail with my credentials, like if I need a licensed PeopleSoft installation (not just the demo test environment).
    I apologize for being thick, but this is all very new to me and I had no luck searching for answers on My Oracle Support.
    Thank you for input,
    Honza

    There's some more documtation on edelivery.oracle.com
    Under PeopleSoft Enterprise you can find: Third Party – Micro Focus 5.1 for PeopleSoft Enterprise Media Pack.
    -- From "PeopleSoft Enterprise COBOL Quick Reference Guide - Version 9":
    Temporary License Codes
    These temporary license codes are active for up to 30 days while you request a full license. If the temporary license is not converted within the 30-day temporary license period, you cannot compile+ or run+* COBOL programs.
    -- From "Micro Focus Server Express 5.1 Wrap Pack 4 Extras Install Documentation for PeopleSoft and Runtime Licenses"
    Server Express Development Licenses - COBOL Compiler Licenses
    When you order Server Express from PeopleSoft, you also order a certain
    number of COBOL Compiler Licenses. The COBOL Compiler Licenses are sold
    in quantities of 1, 2, 3, 5, 12 and 25. These COBOL Compiler Licenses
    are commonly referred to as PACKS or SEATS.
    For example:
    If you have 5 developers that will be working on COBOL you would
    purchase a 5-SEAT COBOL Compiler License. This 5-SEAT COBOL
    Compiler License allows 5 developers to simultaneously compile COBOL
    programs. If a 6th developer attempt to compile they would get an
    error message indicating that there are no Compiler Licenses available.
    Each SEAT of COBOL Compiler License comes with 5 COBOL Run-Time licenses.
    For example:
    A 1-SEAT COBOL Compiler License will allow 5 COBOL programs to be
    run simultaneously. A 5-SEAT COBOL Compiler License will allow 25 COBOL
    programs to be run simultaneously, and so on.
    When the COBOL Compiler License is installed, the installation process
    will automatically install the COBOL Run-Time Licenses.
    ULP - COBOL Run-Time Licenses
    The Unlimited License Patch (ULP) provides PeopleSoft Customers with 5000 COBOL Run-Time licenses.
    For Server Express 5.1 WP4 and 5.0 WP4 the Unlimited License Patch (ULP) MUST be installed prior to installing the COBOL Compiler License.
    This issue with ULP has existed since Server Express 4.0.
    For Server Express 5.1 WP4 it is STILL a requirement that the ULP Run-Time Licenses are installed prior to the Development Licenses.
    So I guess you can compile and run Cobol for 30 days. After that you need at least a one-seat compile license and the ULP.
    Regards,
    Bauke

  • About the template FSCM9.1 FP2 Peopletools 8.52.03 (v4 - July 2012)

    Hello,
    Just tested quickly this new template delivered 2 months ago (July 2012).
    As far as I undestand, it is just a recut of the one delivered in April 2012. At least it solves the main issue I reported in that other About the template FSCM9.1 FP2 Peopletools 8.52.03 (v3) about the network prompt missing.
    But I still have remarks/issues on the template FSCM9.1 FP2 Peopletools 8.52.03 (v4) released earlier in July 2012.

    ...Well, I don't know if it triggers others problems yet, but the last line could reveale an error within the /etc/hosts file which has not been properly modified during deployment (especially IPV6, it probably should be removed) :

    Despite I choosed to install Microfocus, COBOL does not work. Sample COBOL processes such as PTPDBTST and PTPDTTST finished in error.
    The log is empty, here below the output from the file $PS_CFG_HOME/psft/pt/8.52/appserv/prcs/PRCSDOM/LOGS/stdout (psadm2) :
    =================================Error===============================

    =====================================================================
    OprId = VP1Note that I successfully tested AEs and SQRs.
    Here is the command line fired that I can see from the process monitor > parameter (nga is being my run control id) :
    PSRUN PTPDBTST ORACLE/F91TMPLT/VP1/OPRPSWD/nga/10899//0 I used the following trace setting on the PTPDBTST's process parameter (override) to see what happens :
    %%DBTYPE%%/%%DBNAME%%/%%OPRID%%/%%OPRPSWD%%/%%RUNCNTLID%%/%%INSTANCE%%//%%DBFLAG%%But it does not generate more logs...
    I also use "RCCBL Redirect =1" in psappsrv.cfg (reconfigure and restart appdom), then start the COBOL through menu PeopleTools > Utilities > Debug > PeopleTools Test Utilities, and run a "Remote Call Test".
    I received "COBOL Program PTPNTEST aborted (2,-1) FUNCLIB_UTIL.RC_TEST_PB.FieldChange PCPC:2143 Statement:26", but it generated two empty files (PTPNTEST_VP1_0913064910.out and PTPNTEST_VP1_0913064910.err).
    Next step, checking the folder $PS_HOME/cblbin, it is...er... empty... does this mean COBOL have not been compiled ? Hmmm, I'm pretty sure I replied 'yes' when it was prompted though (still have the screenshots)...
    And we can see several folders dated from today and license seems ok from Microfocus directories :

    Those files are owned by psadm3 with a read only for other users (sic). But more concern, I'm wondering why it looks into apptools (???) whereas I'm using psadm1 (tools only, COBPATH=/opt/oracle/psft/pt/tools/cblbin).

    [psadm2@psovmfscmfp2 PRCSDOM]$The directory "/opt/oracle/psft/pt/apptools/cblbin" is owned by psadm3 and hosted on the database server (nfs mounted), so I assume we also need to set proper values for env variables, and compile the COBOLs before being able to use them.
    To resume what I did to make the COBOLs working on this PSOVM :
    1. As root, start LMF (this has to be done only once)
    cd /opt/oracle/psft/pt/cobol/microfocus
    ./mflmman
    2. As psadm1, set proper env. variable and compile (setting env variable has to be done each time you want to compile COBOLs)
    export COBDIR=/opt/oracle/psft/pt/cobol/svrexp-51_wp4-64bit
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$COBDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    export PATH=$COBDIR/bin:$PATH
    cd $PS_HOME/setup
    ./pscbl.mak
    ./psrun.mak
    3. As psadm2, set proper env. variable and reconfigure psprcs.cfg, restart, restart (setting env variable has to be done each time you want to start the process scheduler, so probably better to append these in the .bash_profile)
    export COBDIR=/opt/oracle/psft/pt/cobol/svrexp-51_wp4-64bit
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$COBDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    export PATH=$COBDIR/bin:$PATH
    cd $PS_HOME/appserv
    ./psadmin
    4. Same as step 2, but with user psadm3.
    HTH,
    Nicolas.
    PS: will it be the same issue on the HCM template delivered at the same time ? To be tested as well.
    PS2: and yes, I tested it twice before posting, result is same.
    Edited by: N Gasparotto on Sep 13, 2012 5:17 PM

    Fortunately, the COBOL issue does not exist on PSOVM HCM9.1 FP2 PT8.52.06 delivered in July 2012 (v3). COBOL are properly compiled (tools and app COBOLs), cblbin is not empty and they run successfully on the first shot.
