Analyze FunctionEmulation project properties

1. Open the project properties for the FunctionEmulation project.
2. Expand Micro Focus > Project Settings > COBOL; then select SQL Preprocessor. Several OpenESQL compiler directives have been set for you. The following table offers a brief description of each:

   SQL(TARGETDB=POSTGRESQL)1	Target database is PostgreSQL
   SQL(DB=HCODemo)	PostgreSQL connection name is HCODemo
   SQL(PASS=userid.password)	Database login credentials
   SQL(DIALECT=MAINFRAME)	HCOPG database syntax conversion is enabled
   SQL(INIT)	Initiates the database connection
   SQL(NOCHECK)	No SQL compile-time checking performed
   SQL(BEHAVIOR=OPTIMIZED)	Optimizes migration process
   1 To run against PostgreSQL GDG, you would need to change this to TARGETDB=PGSQL.
