The RM/COBOL File Connector
The RM/COBOL File Connector allows you to work on RM/COBOL indexed files by separating ISAM native access from the java process.
The File Connector executable is provided along with isCOBOL:
Platform | Executable |
|---|
Windows | %ISCOBOL%\bin\rmc.exe |
In order to make isCOBOL use the RM/COBOL File Connector as file handler, the following setting must appear in the configuration:
The rmc file handler runs the executable file rmc. If this file is not in the system Path, you can specify its full name by setting the
iscobol.file.connector.program.rmc configuration property.
The rmc executable has dependences to RMFM32.DLL and OFM32.DLL, and it needs an RM/COBOL license named license.vlt to work correctly.
The executable file rmc must be of the same architecture as the RM/COBOL libraries, but it can be of a different architecture than the isCOBOL Framework. For example, the following combinations are both valid:
• 64-bit isCOBOL + 64-bit rmc.exe + 64-bit RMFM32.DLL + 64-bit OFM32.DLL
• 64-bit isCOBOL + 32-bit rmc.exe + 32-bit RMFM32.DLL + 32-bit OFM32.DLL
The following combination is not valid, instead:
• 64-bit isCOBOL + 64-bit rmc.exe + 32-bit RMFM32.DLL + 32-bit OFM32.DLL
