mfhco and cobmfhco dclgen commands

Syntax

Tip: Use the UNIX version of this tool to generate DDL on a UNIX server that is accessed remotely via a Windows client.

Windows:

mfhco dclgen db=databasename lang=language tbl=schemaname.tablename 
  file=copybookname [pre={USER | TBL | NO}] [user=username] [fld={COL | NUM}]
     null=nullindname [typeint={COMP | COMP5}] [typelob={LOCATOR | LOB | FILE}] 
        [declare={Y | N }] [str=structurename]

UNIX:

cobmfhco dclgen db=databasename lang=language tbl=schemaname.tablename 
  file=copybookname [pre={USER | TBL | NO}] [user=username] [fld={COL | NUM}]
     null=nullindname [typeint={COMP | COMP5}] [typelob={LOCATOR | LOB | FILE}] 
        [declare={Y | N }] [str=structurename]

Syntax Rules

At least one space must occur before each parameter in the command.
There must be an equal sign (=) between parameters and their values.
If you omit parameters that have a default value, Host Compatibility Option uses the default value.

USER	Specifies that the prefix is supplied by the user.
NO	Specifies that there is no prefix.
`username`	A text string composed of valid COBOL characters, used as a prefix for each host variable in the copybook.
COL	Specifies the column name. Default.
NUM	Specifies the column number.
`nullindname`	Specifies the null indicator name suffix. Default is NULL.
COMP	Specifies generation of numeric fields as COMP variables. Default.
COMP5	Specifies generation of numeric fields as COMP-5 variables.
LOCATOR	Specifies generation of LOB variables as SQL TYPE LOB-LOCATOR. Default.
LOB	Specifies generation of LOB variables as SQL TYPE LOB(`size`).
FILE	Specifies generation of LOB variables as SQL TYPE LOB-FILE.
declare	`Y` - Generate DECLARE TABLE as part of the copybook. Default. `N` - Do not generate DECLARE TABLE as part of the copybook.
`structurename`	Specifies the name of the copybook structure.
