Introduction
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

This example will use a COBOL program with embedded SQL to create a table with an index. This example includes a JCL member and a Windows CMD file. In the world of programming there are many ways to solve a problem. This suite of programs is provided as a COBOL programming example of one of the possible solutions.
