Creating a COBOL Application

Acu4GL simplifies the process of working with relational databases. It lets you use the traditional COBOL OPEN OUTPUT verb to create a new database table.

You can use a sample COBOL program that comes with Acu4GL to create a new database table in which to store your COBOL information. To do this, perform the following:

• Add COBOL directives to allow your application to work with Acu4GL.
• Set up configuration variables and files to direct the operations of Acu4GL.
• Run the sample program to create a new database table.
• Check the resulting database table for columns and indexes.
