COBOL

The various kinds of output from the SQL Preprocessor for COBOL are:

Listing Output

The following listings are written on the output data set.

Preprocessor Source Listing

This listing shows Preprocessor source statements with line numbers assigned by the Preprocessor.

Preprocessor Diagnostics

Diagnostic messages follow immediately after the statement(s) in error.

Translated Source Statements

Source statements processed by the Preprocessor are written to SYSPUNCH (z/OS environment) or SYSPCH (z/VSE environment), the data set designated as input to the compiler. This data set must have attributes of fixed-length records, blocked or unblocked, and a record length of 80 bytes. In your modified source code, SQL statements have been converted to comments and calls to the SQL Manager.

Work Data Sets

Three data sets by the symbolic names &.&WORK1., &.&WORK2., and &.&WORK3., are required by the Preprocessor. These data sets must have attributes of fixed-length records, blocked or unblocked, and a record length of 80 bytes. These work areas must be large enough to hold the generated output.
