Hehe, I snooped their site, and found a support mail link.<br />
<br />
I mailed them and they replied that the version they put on the site is old and free for academic and educational purposes, and therefore they decided to cripple it additionally as well; and if I wish to use SQL, I could buy the new fully working version for just a few Big ones :)<br />
<br />
<br />
anyway, thanks for your help

Hello.<br />
I am trying to write an application that uses SQL server in Fujutsu Cobol 3.0.<br />
<br />
I created the DSN in ODBC, wrote the code, but when I run the program it says that the file f3bhopas.dll is missing.<br />
When I turn off(comment) the code related to the DB, the error message vanishes.<br />
When I uncomment it, it comes back.<br />
<br />
I downloaded and redownloaded the Cobol from their site and its installation simply doesn't have the option not so install something.<br />
<br />
Please help

SQL server in COBOL?

Microsoft SQL Server is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.SQL Server is available in multiple versions, typically identified by release year, and versions are subdivided into editions to distinguish between product functionality. Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning.

COBOL (Common Business-Oriented Language) is a programming language with English-like syntax. It is readable but verbose compared to other programming languages. CODASYL (Conference on Data Systems Languages) created COBOL in 1959 based on design work from Grace Hopper. It was standardized in 1968. COBOL is still present in large-scale batch processing and transaction processing where legacy applications are being used, usually in government, financial, and administrative systems.
