Creating System Executable Files

Creating a system executable file involves two steps:

• Creating native object code
• Linking the file containing the native object code file to create a system executable file

Both steps are done using Cob.

For example, if the file myprog.cbl contains the source program, you can compile and link the program to a system executable file in one step, as follows:

cob -xg myprog.cbl

This creates a system executable file called myprog.

The -g option produces files for use by Animator.
