Starting with
Visual COBOL version 3.0, the DB2 ECM preprocessor no longer converts underscores that appear in EXEC SQL WHATEVER statements to dashes.
Underscores encountered in EXEC SQL WHATEVER statements could cause compiler errors.
Due to third-party restrictions, we do not support the debugging of DB2 LUW COBOL stored procedures.
If you have a remote COBOL project under Eclipse that uses DB2 ECM in
Visual COBOL or HCO for DB2 LUW in
Enterprise Developer and the DB2 software is not installed on the client machine where you are using the Eclipse IDE, you receive background parsing
errors in your application. To resolve the issue, you can do either one of the following:
Disable background parsing
Window > Preferences > Micro Focus > COBOL > Editor and disabling the checkbox for
Background parsing.
Install the IBM DB2 client-side software on the machine on which you are running Eclipse. Go to the IBM Support Home and locate
the page entitled "IBM Download Fix Packs for IBM Data Server Client Packages" .
