Creating Intermediate Code Files

You can create an intermediate code file using the Compiler directly. There is no need to link the program. However, to run the program you need to do one of the following:

• Run the program using the cobrun program (or cobrun_t for multi-threaded applications)
• Create a system executable file that calls the program

For more details see Packaging Applications.

You can compile the source code file myprog.cbl to intermediate code as follows:

cob myprog.cbl

This creates an intermediate code file called myprog.int.
