    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.

    By Kumari priyadarshani 22-04-2020 BBM 3rd year Variables in C A variable is a name of the memory location. It is used to store data. Its value can be changed, and it can be reused many times. It is a way to represent memory location through symbol so that it can be easily identified. Let's see the syntax to declare a variable: type variable_list; The example of declaring the variable is given below: int a; float b; char c; Here, a, b, c are variables. The int, float, char are the data types. We can also provide values while declaring the variables as given below: int a=10,b=20;//declaring 2 variable of integer type float f=20.8; char c='A'; Rules for defining variables A variable can have alphabets, digits, and underscore. A variable name can start with the alphabet, and underscore only. It can't start with a digit. No whitespace is allowed within the variable name. A variable name must not be any reserved word or keyword, e.g. int, float, etc. Valid variable names: int a; int _ab; int a30; Invalid variable names: int 2; int a b; int long; Types of Variables in C There are many types of variables in c: local variable global variable static variable automatic variable external variable 1)Local Variable A variable that is declared inside the function or block is called a local variable. It must be declared at the start of the block. void function1(){ int x=10;//local variable } You must have to initialize the local variable before it is used.

  • 7. Functions in PHP – II
    7. Functions in PHP – II Scope of variables in Function Scope of variable is the part of PHP script where the variable can be accessed or used. PHP supports three different scopes for a variable. These scopes are 1. Local 2. Global 3. Static A variable declared within the function has local scope. That means this variable is only used within the function body. This variable is not used outside the function. To demonstrate the concept, let us take an example. // local variable scope function localscope() { $var = 5; //local scope echo '<br> The value of $var inside the function is: '. $var; } localscope(); // call the function // using $var outside the function will generate an error echo '<br> The value of $var inside the function is: '. $var; The output will be: The value of $var inside the function is: 5 ( ! ) Notice: Undefined variable: var in H:\wamp\www\PathshalaWAD\function\function localscope demo.php on line 12 Call Stack # Time Memory Function Location 1 0.0003 240416 {main}( ) ..\function localscope demo.php:0 The value of $var inside the function is: Page 1 of 7 If a variable is defined outside of the function, then the variable scope is global. By default, a global scope variable is only available to code that runs at global level. That means, it is not available inside a function. Following example demonstrate it. <?php //variable scope is global $globalscope = 20; // local variable scope function localscope() { echo '<br> The value of global scope variable is :'.$globalscope; } localscope(); // call the function // using $var outside the function will generate an error echo '<br> The value of $globalscope outside the function is: '.

Introduction to Fortran 90 Language Features 21.0 Introduction Fortran 90 is in many respects a backwards-compatible modernization of the long-used (and much abused) Fortran 77 language, but it is also, in other respects, a new language for parallel programming on present and future multiprocessor machines. These twin design goals of the language sometimes add confusion to the process of becoming fluent in Fortran 90 programming. In a certain trivial sense, Fortran 90 is strictly backwards-compatible with Fortran 77. That is, any Fortran 90 compiler is supposed to be able to compile any legacy Fortran 77 code without error. The reason for terming this compatibility trivial, however, is that you have to tell the compiler (usually via a source file name ending in “.f”or“.for”) that it is dealing with a Fortran 77 file. If you instead try to pass off Fortran 77 code as native Fortran 90 (e.g., by naming the source file something ending in “.f90”) it will not always work correctly! It is best, therefore, to approach Fortran 90 as a new computer language, albeit one with a lot in common with Fortran 77.

  • An Empirical Study Into COBOL Type Inferencing*
    Science of Computer Programming ELSEVIERI Science of Computer Programming 40 (2001) 189-211 www.elsevier.nl/locate/scico An empirical study into COBOL type inferencing* Arie van Deursen 1, Leon Moonen 1 * CWL P. 0. Box 94079, 1090 GB Amsterdam, Netherlands Accepted 2 February 2001 Abstract In a typical COBOL program, the data division consists of 50% of the lines of code. Automatic type inference can help to understand the large collections of variable declarations contained therein, showing how variables are related based on their actual usage. The most problematic aspect of type inference is pollution, the phenomenon that types become too large, and contain variables that intuitively should not belong to the same type. The aim of the paper is to provide empirical evidence for the hypothesis that the use of subtyping is an effective way for dealing with pollution. The main results include a tool set to carry out type inference experiments, a suite of metrics characterizing type inference outcomes, and the experimental observation that only one instance of pollution occurs in the case study conducted. @ 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

Introduction In this paper, we will be concerned with the variables occurring in a COBOL pro­ gram. The two main parts of a COBOL program are the data division, containing declarations for all variables used, and the procedure division, which contains the state­ ments performing the program's functionality. Since it is in the procedure division that the actual computations are made, one would expect this division to be larger than the data division.

  • 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.

  • 10 Programming Languages You Should Learn Right Now by Deborah Rothberg September 15, 2006 8 Comments Posted Add Your Opinion
    10 Programming Languages You Should Learn Right Now By Deborah Rothberg September 15, 2006 8 comments posted Add your opinion Knowing a handful of programming languages is seen by many as a harbor in a job market storm, solid skills that will be marketable as long as the languages are. Yet, there is beauty in numbers. While there may be developers who have had riches heaped on them by knowing the right programming language at the right time in the right place, most longtime coders will tell you that periodically learning a new language is an essential part of being a good and successful Web developer. "One of my mentors once told me that a programming language is just a programming language. It doesn't matter if you're a good programmer, it's the syntax that matters," Tim Huckaby, CEO of San Diego-based software engineering company CEO Interknowlogy.com, told eWEEK. However, Huckaby said that while his company is "swimmi ng" in work, he's having a nearly impossible time finding recruits, even on the entry level, that know specific programming languages. "We're hiring like crazy, but we're not having an easy time. We're just looking for attitude and aptitude, kids right out of school that know .Net, or even Java, because with that we can train them on .Net," said Huckaby. "Don't get fixated on one or two languages. When I started in 1969, FORTRAN, COBOL and S/360 Assembler were the big tickets. Today, Java, C and Visual Basic are. In 10 years time, some new set of languages will be the 'in thing.' …At last count, I knew/have learned over 24 different languages in over 30 years," Wayne Duqaine, director of Software Development at Grandview Systems, of Sebastopol, Calif., told eWEEK.
