In .Net we support both ADO.Net and ODBC based access to databases using the EXEC SQL based COBOL syntax. There are some demos in:-

C:\Program Files\Micro Focus\Net Express 5.1\Examples\Visual Studio Integration

that show some ADO access to databases from COBOL. See ConnectedDemo , CursorDemo , DisconnectedDemo.

In C:\Program Files\Micro Focus\Net Express 5.1\Examples\Net Express IDE\ODBCESQL there are some ODBC based examples showing database access from COBOL.

In the Visual Studio help for Net Express with .Net you should find the Database Access manual under "Programming".

David.

The OpenESQL Assistant will help you write those routines. Check out the documentation (from the help menu in the product) and you should get a pretty good idea on how to use it. The documentation is also available online at http://supportline.microfocus.com/documentation/books/nx51ws01/nx51...
