    CCOOBBOOLL -- DDAATTAABBAASSEE IINNTTEERRFFAACCEE http://www.tutorialspoint.com/cobol/cobol_database_interface.htm Copyright © tutorialspoint.com As of now, we have learnt the use of files in COBOL. Now, we will discuss how a COBOL program interacts with DB2. It involves the following terms: Embedded SQL DB2 Application Programming Host Variables SQLCA SQL Queries Cursors Embedded SQL Embedded SQL statements are used in COBOL programs to perform standard SQL operations. Embedded SQL statements are preprocessed by SQL processor before the application program is compiled. COBOL is known as the Host Language. COBOL-DB2 applications are those applications that include both COBOL and DB2. Embedded SQL statements work like normal SQL statements with some minor changes. For example, that output of a query is directed to a predefined set of variables which are referred as Host Variables. An additional INTO clause is placed in the SELECT statement. DB2 Application Programming Following are rules to be followed while coding a COBOL-DB2 program: All the SQL statements must be delimited between EXEC SQL and END-EXEC. SQL statements must be coded in Area B. All the tables that are used in a program must be declared in the Working-Storage Section. This is done by using the INCLUDE statement. All SQL statements other than INCLUDE and DECLARE TABLE must appear in the Procedure Division. Host Variables Host variables are used for receiving data from a table or inserting data in a table. Host variables must be declared for all values that are to be passed between the program and the DB2. They are declared in the Working-Storage Section.

  • C and C++ Preprocessor Directives #Include #Define Macros Inline
    MODULE 10 PREPROCESSOR DIRECTIVES My Training Period: hours Abilities ▪ Able to understand and use #include. ▪ Able to understand and use #define. ▪ Able to understand and use macros and inline functions. ▪ Able to understand and use the conditional compilation – #if, #endif, #ifdef, #else, #ifndef and #undef. ▪ Able to understand and use #error, #pragma, # and ## operators and #line. ▪ Able to display error messages during conditional compilation. ▪ Able to understand and use assertions. 10.1 Introduction - For C/C++ preprocessor, preprocessing occurs before a program is compiled. A complete process involved during the preprocessing, compiling and linking can be read in Module W. - Some possible actions are: ▪ Inclusion of other files in the file being compiled. ▪ Definition of symbolic constants and macros. ▪ Conditional compilation of program code or code segment. ▪ Conditional execution of preprocessor directives. - All preprocessor directives begin with #, and only white space characters may appear before a preprocessor directive on a line. 10.2 The #include Preprocessor Directive - The #include directive causes copy of a specified file to be included in place of the directive. The two forms of the #include directive are: //searches for header files and replaces this directive //with the entire contents of the header file here #include <header_file> - Or #include "header_file" e.g. #include <stdio.h> #include "myheader.h" - If the file name is enclosed in double quotes, the preprocessor searches in the same directory (local) as the source file being compiled for the file to be included, if not found then looks in the subdirectory associated with standard header files as specified using angle bracket. - This method is normally used to include user or programmer-defined header files.

  • An Array-Oriented Language with Static Rank Polymorphism
    An array-oriented language with static rank polymorphism Justin Slepak, Olin Shivers, and Panagiotis Manolios Northeastern University fjrslepak,shivers,[email protected] Abstract. The array-computational model pioneered by Iverson's lan- guages APL and J offers a simple and expressive solution to the \von Neumann bottleneck." It includes a form of rank, or dimensional, poly- morphism, which renders much of a program's control structure im- plicit by lifting base operators to higher-dimensional array structures. We present the first formal semantics for this model, along with the first static type system that captures the full power of the core language. The formal dynamic semantics of our core language, Remora, illuminates several of the murkier corners of the model. This allows us to resolve some of the model's ad hoc elements in more general, regular ways. Among these, we can generalise the model from SIMD to MIMD computations, by extending the semantics to permit functions to be lifted to higher- dimensional arrays in the same way as their arguments. Our static semantics, a dependent type system of carefully restricted power, is capable of describing array computations whose dimensions cannot be determined statically. The type-checking problem is decidable and the type system is accompanied by the usual soundness theorems. Our type system's principal contribution is that it serves to extract the implicit control structure that provides so much of the language's expres- sive power, making this structure explicitly apparent at compile time. 1 The Promise of Rank Polymorphism Behind every interesting programming language is an interesting model of com- putation.

  • Guide to C Files and H Files by Jacob “Bob” Egner Introduction This
    Guide To C Files And H Files by Jacob “Bob” Egner Introduction This document explains the philosophy of C and H files, and what to put in each file type. At times, I'll stray from the main topic to talk about C compilation in general. The more you understand about C compilation, the less trouble you'll have getting your programs to compile and work. Along with this document, you should also have the files heap.h, heap.c, and heap_test.c. This project can be found in the starter files section of the web site. heap.c and heap.h make up a “module” that implements a memory heap. heap_test.c uses the heap module. I wrote these files to be examples for this document, bring dynamic memory management to the 9S12, and mostly for fun. Please glance over these files before proceeding. The project can be found in the “Starter files” section of the course web site. Why Do We Have H Files? One key thing in understanding C and H files is that declaration and definition are two different things. A declaration tells the compiler that something exists and what kind of beast it is. A definition tells the compiler what it is. A function declaration tells the name of a function, what arguments it takes and what it returns. A function definition also has all that and the code that implements the function. A variable declaration tells the type of a variable. A variable definition tells the type and actually allocates space for the variable.
