Writing a COBOL DB2 Program.

Let us assume we are writing a cobol program to read EMPLOYEE table and get the details of employee with the name XXXXXXX. Let us go in step wise.. create the following table in db2 or assume it is there in db2 database. EMPLYEE EMPID 1000 1001 1002 EMPNAME XXXXXXX YYYYYYY ZZZZZZZ DEPARTMENT XX YY ZZ SALARY 10000 9000 20000 DESIGNATION SE SE MA

STEP 1.

We need to declare the table structure in the WORKING-STORAGE SECTION or LINKAGE SECTION. EXEC SQL DECLARE DSNXXX.EMPLOYEE ( EMPID EMPNAME DEPARTMENT SALARY DESIGNATION END-EXEC.

CHAR(10) CHAR(30) CHAR(2) DECIMAL(10,2) CHAR(4)

NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT

NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL )

we can use DB2 tool called DCLGEN to generate this declaration for us and can include that copy book here. if you create a copybook using DCLGEN. Use following sntax to include EXEC SQL INCLUDE < copybookname > END-EXEC.

STEP 2. se

Declare host variables in WORKING-STORAGE SECTION. HOST VARIABLES - A host variable is a data item declared in cobol to u it in embedded SQL. For EMPLOYEE table, host variable declaration is look like as follows.

.. 01 EMPOYEE-RECORD. 05 HV-EMPID 05 HV-EMPNAME PIC X(10). PIC X(30).

05 HV-DEPARTMENT 05 HV-SALARY 05 HV-DESIGNATION

PIC X(2). PIC S9(8)V99 COMP-3. PIC CHAR(4).

If you use db2 tool DCLGEN, it will automatically creates this structur e also along with table declaration specified in step1. STEP 3. Include SQLCA as follows in WORKING-STORAGE SECTION. EXEC SQL INCLUDE SQLCA END-EXEC. What is SQLCA? SQLCA - SQL communication area. When a SQL statement executes, DB2 places a value in SQLCODE A ND SQLSTATE host variables or any other fields of SQLCA. based o n the values in these variables we can know whether sql ran sucessfully or not. SQLCA contains a declartion of fields like SQLCODE,SQLSTATE an d SQLERRD etc....

STEP 4. Add a sql statement in procdure division to get the details of employee with the name XXXXXXX.

DISPLAY ' PROGRAM STARTED .... ' ......... EXEC SQL SELECT SALARY INTO :HV-SALARY FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE EMPNAME = 'XXXXXXX' END-EXEC. IF SQLCODE = 0 DISPLAY ' SQL EXECUTED SUCESSFULLY ' DISPLAY ' EMPLOYEE SALARY IS ' ELSE DISPLAY ' SQL FAILED ' DIAPLY ' SQL CODE ' SQLCODE END-IF. HV-SALARY

.... .... DISPLAY ' PROGRAM ENDED'.

Here SQLCODE = 0 means, sql ran sucessfully without any issues. Hence we are displaying the HV-SALARY into the spool. If SQLCODE NOT = 0 , there is issue in executing the sql statement.

Now we have compeleted coding a cobol-db2 program. our next step is to compile the program. SAMPLE COMPILE JCL Click here to see the compile JCL.

COBOL Example Programs These pages contain a large number of example COBOL programs. The programs may b e downloaded, or viewed in your browser. Test data for the example COBOL program s is also provided where appropriate. The programs have been compiled and tested using Microfocus NetExpress but they should work on any COBOL-85 complient compiler with very few changes. You may have to reformat the programs if your compiler does not have the equival ent of the $ SET SOURCEFORMAT"FREE". This compiler directive frees Microfocus CO BOL programs from the normal COBOL formatting conventions. You may also have to remove the ORGANIZATION IS LINE SEQUENTIAL phrase in the SE LECT and ASSIGN clause of sequential files. In Microfocus COBOL, LINE SEQUENTIAL files terminate each record with a carriage return and line feed. Copyright Notice These programs are the copyright property of Michael Coughlan.
