A UAP in which SQL statements are embedded in a source program written in COBOL must be converted to a post-source program by an SQL preprocessor. The resulting post source becomes a load module (executable file) when it is compiled and link edited by the COBOL85 compiler.

Figure 8-2 shows the procedure for executing a UAP written in COBOL.
