Shipping Selected Files from COBOL Server

Note: The following applies to native COBOL only.

CAUTION:

We recommend that you ship the whole of COBOL Server with your application. However to provide backward compatibility, you can still select and ship specific files.

The COBOL Server files you need to ship with your application depend on how you linked the application, the type of executable it is, and the support functionality it uses.

You can package the files you need in whatever you choose, such as by creating .dll files from the supplied .obj files or by combining the necessary .gnt files into an .lbr file.

When you ship a modular application , you need to ship the following files:

The main program of your application
Any dynamically linked programs that are part of your application, including objects that have been linked into dynamic link libraries
The Microsoft Visual C++ run-time system
Licensing files
The National Locale Support message files for the locales that you support:
- lang\default\*
- lang\en_GB\*
- lang\en_us\*
- lang\jp_sj\*

In addition, you need to ship the following files depending on your application requirements:

The file adisctrl, if your application uses the enhanced ACCEPT/DISPLAY syntax, and you have configured it to use a non-default configuration
