The syntax options for the genjava utility are as follows.
genjava [-h] application-name [options]
- [-h] or [-help]
- Displays help on usage of the utility.
- application-name
- The name of the library file (.dll or
.so) that contains the COBOL object files required for the Java application.
On UNIX platforms, the library file must be prefixed with 'lib'.
- [options]
- One or more options used to help build the library file. Those options are:
- [-p program-id-list]
- Lists the COBOL programs that you are making callable to Java; separate each program with a space. These details are used
to generate the
progs.java file.
- [-s program-id-list]
- Lists the COBOL programs that contain the COBOL items that you are sharing with Java; separate each program with a space.
These details are used to generate the
strg.java file.
- [-k package]
- Specifies a package name to be used for the
progs.java file required for callable COBOL programs, and
strg.java required for sharing COBOL items. If no package name is specified,
com.microfocus.COBOL is used by default.
- [-o output-directory]
- Specifies the directory in which to create the package specified by
-k package. If no output directory is specified, the current working directory is used.
Example
The following command specifies that, using the definitions in the
app2 library file, the utility is to create a
progs.java file to access the
demo3 and
demo6 COBOL programs, and also create a
strg.java file to access the COBOL items shared in
demo3. Both files are placed in the
src sub-directory, using the
com.mycompany.dept6 package name.
Windows:
genjava app2 -p demo3 demo6 -s demo3 -o src -k com.mycompany.dept6
UNIX:
genjava libapp2 -p demo3 demo6 -s demo3 -o src -k com.mycompany.dept6
