COBCH0018S Preprocessor error on initialization

Hello Basavaraj Satanur,

Thank you for posting to the Micro Focus Community site. It sounds like you are trying to use an integrated SQL preprocessor for a COBOL program with embedded DB2 SQL.

Since you've mentioned that you have a remote project on Linux, it sounds like you're using Visual COBOL for Eclipse. Can you let me know what version of Visual COBOL for Eclipse you're using? One quick way to gather this information is to use the Eclipse menu option Help->Micro Focus-Product Information. Please copy all of the text that appears in the Product Information window, and share it in a reply.

What version of Visual COBOL Development Hub is installed on the remote Linux system? One quick way to determine this is to log onto Linux, set your environment for running COBOL, and then enter the command at the prompt: "cob -V". Please share the full output.

Also, have you previously been successful with building COBOL programs with DB2 in Eclipse in the past? If you were successful in the past, what's different now - new Eclipse project, new Visual COBOL version, etc.? Is the DB2 client installed on the Linux machine?
