We have a set of .cbl files in the Linux environment. Have installed Visual COBOL for Eclipse for SUSE.
I need to compile the source code and use the executable in the script to run the batch jobs.
Will executing the command "cob -z -P Program1.cbl" create a .o file and can we use the .o executable in my script to run the batch like
DD_SYS001=input_file
/location/program1.o unix >>outputfile
Is the approach fine? Since I am a novice, can someone please guide me step by step of how to go ahead executing it.
