Linking

Linking from the command line

You can link applications from the Enterprise Developer command prompt with the cbllink or cblnames commands. For example, to produce an .exe file, use:

cbllink myprogram.cbl

To compile and link your code to produce a .dll file, use:

cbllink -d myprogram.cbl

With these commands, the single-threaded and static-linking options are automatically mapped onto the multi-threaded and shared run-time systems respectively.

Linking from the IDE

To specify what to link:

1. Click Project > myProject Properties.
2. Click the COBOL Link tab on the left-hand side of the Properties window and specify your link settings.
