Pro*COBOL Example

Procob

The syntax of the 'Procob' Preprocessor is as follows:

procob iname=inputfile oname=outputfile […]

The script needed to integrate the 'Procob' Preprocessor should be like this:

On Windows:

runprocob.bat: procob iname=%1 oname=%2

On UNIX/Linux

runprocob.sh: procob iname=$1 oname=$2

Integration of more Preprocessors:

Using a script file, it is possible to execute two or more Preprocessors. For example, if the user wants execute both the 'Procob' and 'Kixclt' Preprocessors, he should create a script like this:

On Windows:

runprocobkixclt.bat: kixclt -o %2.pco %1.cl2 procob iname=%2.pco oname=%2.cbl delete %2.pco

On UNIX/Linux

runprocobkixclt.sh: kixclt -o $2.pco $1.cl2 procob iname=$2.pco oname=$2.cbl rm –f $2.pco
