Table 5-1 lists libraries that you should include if you want to take full advantage of all Embedded SQL/COBOL capabilities. The first row in the table lists libraries that all platforms can use. Subsequent rows list libraries specific for each platform:

There are three basic steps to building an executable program from an Embedded SQL/COBOL application:
Precompile the application.
Compile and link the COBOL source code generated by the precompiler.
Load any precompiler-generated stored procedures.
These steps are described in the following sections.
