Compile error : Sqlecm or dependent module not found

Problem:

When compiling DB2 applications with the DB2 compiler directive, we receive compile error COBCH0801 :  sqlecm or dependent module not found.

Resolution:

If the application fails to compile with the above error, this points to a likely issue with platform target. You should check the platform target under COBOL tab in project properties.This would be a problem when compiling DB2 application that expects platform target X86 while running on a 32-BIT environment. Changing the platform target  from X64 to X86 seem to resolve this problem.
