Purpose of the sample programs

The sample programs demonstrate specific Embedded SQL/COBOL functionality. These programs are designed as guides for application programmers, not as Embedded SQL/COBOL training aids. Read the descriptions at the top of each source file and examine the source code prior to attempting to use the sample programs.

Edit the samples. Before you precompile the programs, replace the user name and password with values that are valid for your Adaptive Server. Comments in the programs show where you should make the changes. Read the README file for complete instructions on running the sample programs.

These simplified programs are not intended for use in a production environment. Production-quality programs require additional code to handle errors and special cases.
