Description

Create a Micro Focus library (of type .lbr) from one or more COBOL files.

Parameters

Attribute	Description	Required
destdir	The name of the directory where the library is to be written. Defaults to the current directory.	No
destfile	The name of the library that is to be created.	No
desttype	The type of executable that the linker is to produce. The value of this attribute must be "`lbr`".	No
failonerror	Stop the build process if the task exits with a return-code other than 0. Defaults to `false`.	No
is64bit	If `true`, creates a 64-bit library. Defaults to `false` (i.e. 32-bit library).	No
lbrcommand	Specify a custom link command to be used to create the library file. If specified, all other attributes are ignored and the `cobollbr` task uses the given command to create the library. Defaults to "".	No
threadCount	The maximum number of parallel compilations to be used. Defaults to 1.	No
userEnv	The name of the properties file that contains the user specified environment variables.	No

Parameters specified as nested elements

mffilelist: Use nested <mffilelist> elements to specify the object file name(s) to be included in the library. See mffilelist.

Examples

Create a 32-bit application, ProgramLib1.lbr, from three .int files - Program1.int, Program2.int and Program3.int:

<cobollbr destdir="${basedir}/bin" destfile="ProgramLib1" is64bit="false" failonerror="true">
    <mffilelist srcdir="${basedir}/bin">
        <file name="Program1.int"/>
        <file name="Program2.int"/>
        <file name="Program3.int"/>
    </mffilelist>
</cobollbr>

Create a 64-bit application, ProgramLib2.lbr, from three .gnt files - Program1.gnt, Program2.gnt and Program3.gnt:

<cobollbr destdir="${basedir}/bin" destfile="ProgramLib2" is64bit="true" failonerror="true">
    <mffilelist srcdir="${basedir}/bin">
        <file name="Program1.gnt"/>
        <file name="Program2.gnt"/>
        <file name="Program3.gnt"/>
    </mffilelist>
</cobollbr>
