Database Access Support within Micro Focus Server

Database Access Support with .NET Managed COBOL

Database access is supported using the OpenESQL preprocessor with applications compiled as .NET managed code to access relational databases using ODBC 3.0-compliant drivers (refer to your driver vendor's documentation to determine whether your driver is suitable for use with OpenESQL). COBSQL and DB2 ECM SQL preprocessors are supported for migration purposes only. For details, see the topic Database Support for COBOL under the .NET Framework in your Micro Focus Help within Visual Studio.

OpenESQL has been tested against the following ADO.NET data providers:

Dynamic SQL using the SQL Descriptor Area (SQLDA) is not currently supported for either OpenESQL applications compiled with the SQL(DBMAN=ODBC) directive, or DB2 applications compiled with the DB2 directive.
