The following material is a good starting point on Fujitsu SQL processing:


Start by reading the help on SQL - NetCOBOL Users Guide.       - Chapter 19
Next Read the help on SQL in     - NetCOBOL Language Reference - Chapter 8

You can get to the information above by going to:

START --> Programs --> Fujitsu COBOL V10 --> Online Documentation
                          OR 
C:\Program Files\Fujitsu NetCOBOL for Windows\Manual\Manual.PDF

Sample programs to work with after reading the above information:

C:\Program Files\Fujitsu NetCOBOL for Windows\samples\cobol\Sample11
C:\Program Files\Fujitsu NetCOBOL for Windows\samples\cobol\Sample12


** Create your Connection information(high level) **

ODBC (Open DataBase Connectivity) is used to make the connection.
In the NetCOBOL Users Guide, See pages 745 to 757

- Create an ODBC Data Source pointing to your Data Server, if you don't have one.
- Create an ".INF" file that holds the information regarding your connection 
  (see Samples).
- COBOL85.CBR - make the entry in this file as so "@ODBC_Inf=SQLServrConct.inf", which 
  points to your SQServrConct.inf file.
- Compile your program, and it should work.

(Assuming a default install, it is highly recommended to use 
 "C:\Program Files\Fujitsu NetCOBOL for Windows\SQLODBCS.EXE"
  If you are a first time user, press and read the Help button information".


** The top challenges reported - and their solutions: **

Challenge:  Get Message that 
            "Environment information file error to perform SQL.'@SQL_SERVER'"
Resolution: Make sure the above file "INF File" is found and no information
            is missing, and that your COBOL85.CBR file is pointing to 
            it properly.

Challenge:  Fetch Previous/Prior not functioning correctly.
Resolution: Although Fetch Previous/Prior is not used often, a solution
            can be found with Dynamic SQL.
