EDBI Generation with EDBIIS (two steps)

The EDBIIS command allows you to generate EDBI routines by processing XML data dictionaries.

In order to generate XML data dictionaries, compile the program as follows:

iscc -efd PROG-FILE1.cbl

At the end of the compilation process, you will find one additional file in your working directory:

• file1.xml : the data dictionary that describes FILE1.

Note - the way numeric fields are described in the dictionary is affected by the configuration property iscobol.compiler.efd_field_name_num (boolean).

Assuming that you want to generate a EDBI routine to use FILE1 on Oracle databases, you can run the following command:

edbiis -do file1.xml

It will generate:

• EDBI-file1.pco : the bridge program that allows FILE1 to be used as a table on Oracle databases.

See Command Line Options for the list of all the available edbiis options.
