The database table is built and accessed automatically when the COBOL application is executed. To the end user, the interaction between the COBOL and the MSSQL database is invisible; queries are generated and data is exchanged in fractions of a second, and the application proceeds without interruption.
You can also access the database information directly from MSSQL, at your option.
To create a sample COBOL application, see Preparing and Compiling a Program Example.
