5. User Application Program Interface (COBOL Language)

This chapter describes how to create, compile, and link user application programs in COBOL.

In this chapter, COBOL request statements (such as CBLDCCLS('')) for calling DLLs are used in explanations. If you use request statements of the normal object library, replace the COBOL request statement names with the corresponding request statement names such as CBLDCCLT('').
