Getting started

Before attempting to run the precompiler, make sure Client-Library version 11.1 or later is installed, as the precompiler uses it as the runtime library. Also, make sure Adaptive Server version 11.1 or later is installed. If one or more products is missing, contact your System Administrator.

Invoke the precompiler by issuing the appropriate command at the operating system prompt. See the Open Client and Open Server Programmer’s Supplement for your platform for details.

The precompiler command can include several flags that let you determine options for the precompiler, including the input file, login user name and password, invoking HA failover, and precompiler modes. The Open Client and Open Server Programmer’s Supplement contains operating system-specific information on precompiling, compiling, and linking your Embedded SQL application.
