Problem:

Crystal Reports has an COM Automation interface RDC that allows you to produce reports programatically in your application.

It is possible to utilise this interface from COBOL.

Resolution:

Attached to this article is an example showing how you can call the RDC Interface.

The example is based on a sample report that is provided when Crystal is installed. You may need to amend the location of this in the example code.
