I was using enterprise developer version 3 in my workstation and i use visual studio 2017 for doing compile and linking my native cobol programs.being. As part of evaluating version 6 for the use in my organization, i upgraded to version 6 but the cbllink fails through Visual studio 2019. I also tried it using command line it fails. Its not giving any relevant messages to troubleshoot. Could you please assist as soon as possible ? Following is the command being executed.

    It looks to me like the cbllink command line is incorrect. The output filename should be preceded with the -o option.

    It should look like:

    cbllink -d -v -oPOCARCAL.dll POCARCAL.obj "C:\\SQLLIB\\lib\\Win32\\db2api.lib"

    You copuld also pass the /Verbose option to the linker by adding in the -wl"/verbose" option on the command line.

    cbllink -d -v  -wl"/verbose" -oPOCARCAL.dll POCARCAL.obj "C:\\SQLLIB\\lib\\Win32\\db2api.lib"

    This should tell the link.exe to display its progress.
