i had no problem with sql syntax and i work a long time only with sql databases.

Now i want to change my conventional programs to access the sql database and all operations as oo cobol.
Do you have a little example to call this oo-methods? connect, select, insert, update, drop, etc

I want to program this showing the examples in VC6.0 and Netexpress 5.1, but become not a running program.

Thank you very much for any help!

here a attachment with my example

admlogin.cbl -> Start Program calling the oo program mysqlclass and the included methods 

hope to find a little help, that may be a cool development!

There are examples of using SQL in managed .NET OO-COBOL within the Samples Browser. The first thing you must do is change your sql directive to use DBMAN=ADO instead of DBMAN=ODBC as .NET programs access SQL using ADO.NET providers and not ODBC drivers as ODBC is native technology.

Open the Samples browser and in the listbox at the top select Show .NET only and then in the lefthand column select SQL. Any of the OESQL examples would be a good starting place. There is additional syntax available using EXEC ADO statements that is supported when using ADO.NET. These can be seen in the examples for disconnected and connected models.

Hi

if not odbc or ado.

then it will be jvm code, you can use a jdbc connection or a jndi connection.

see this example it shows you how to do a jvm project with the jndi configuration needed.

Sorry, my problem is not to connect to sql database and not the sql syntax for all operations. I have full working cobol programs since more then 20 years.

my new approach is to do this with oo cobol with class and methods as in the examples in visual cobol.

i need help only for correct oo syntax!

As you are not being specific about the OO syntax you are having issues with then the best thing I can do is recommend you have a read of the visual cobol book,

Hi Chris,

i use the sqlbook.cbl from the samples directory.

with vc 3.0 also vc6.0 upd4 the source code gives errors:

COBCH0014 invalid operation

MSB4181 

see png attached

thank you for help!

You changed the directives at the top of the source and are using invalid directives for managed .NET code.

What happens if you only use:

$set sql(dbman=ado, behavior=optimized)

Yes it works fine but this program is meant to be compiled as part of the sample solutions/projects that are provided in the Samples browser. There are additional directives that are being set at the project->Properties level under the COBOL tab.

I suggest that you open the samples browser and open the Solution for OESQL- WPF Book (.NET/VS)

This uses this program in the project OOSqlLegacyBook.

You do not use ODBC when you are compiling for .NET. You use DBMAN=ADO and you need to set up an ADO Provider DSN using the ADO Connection Editor.

Please read thru the Readme in the Sample mentioned above as it provides you with the instructions.

I would also add the demo was never written to be used in native code because the OO syntax it uses is only available in managed code
