The technique of retrieving data with SQL one row at a time is referred to as cursor processing. This example will show how to process a data base sequentially by key using cursor processing. 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.
The following is the Windows Command file (ITQCP1E1.CMD) that is required to run as a job on a PC using Micro Focus Net Express.

rem * This set of programs illustrate the use of embedded SQL in a COBOL
rem * program that fetches one row at a time from the item data base. A
rem * sequential file containing one record for each row is created.
rem *
rem * This technique provides for the use of a single COBOL source
rem * program that will run on ZOS, Windows or Unix.
rem *
rem * This set of programs will run on a Personal Computer with Windows
rem * and Micro Focus Net Express or Mainframe Express.

Check out The SQL Connection for more examples of mainframe Relational Data Base management and accessing techniques with sample code.
The example for Create a Table uses embedded SQL in a COBOL program to create a data base for the item information.
The example for Insert a Row uses embedded SQL in a COBOL program to insert data into a table of an existing data base.
The example for Update Table Information uses embedded SQL in a COBOL program to update data in an existing row or insert data into a new row using a unique primary key.
The example for Delete a Table uses embedded SQL in a COBOL program to delete a data base for the item information.
