Micro Focus COBOL
To compile and link the sample program for Micro Focus COBOL:
NOTE: Compiling and testing the COBOL sample is not a required step for installation of the
PDF417 Encoder. It is recommended if you will be using the COBOL API.
PDF417 Encoder. It is recommended if you will be using the COBOL API.
1. Create a runtime which includes Micro Focus COBOL and PDF417 encoder library
(
prunmf
):
• Change directory to the mf directory in the PDF417 distribution,
.../pdf417/mf
• Make sure that the variables are defined correctly in prunmf.umf
• Execute the make file:
• Execute the make file:
$ make -f prunmf.umf
2. Change directory to the sample directory
(.../sample
) and copy the following files to this
directory:
$ cp …\pdf417\mf\compmf.sh .
3. Compile the following test program:
$ compmf.sh samplcob
This command will create two files: an intermediate code file samplcob.int and an
animation information file samplcob.idy
animation information file samplcob.idy
4. Run the new runtime with the intermediate file as a parameter:
$ …/mf/prunmf
samplcob
5. For successful execution, there will be no screen I/O but one file will be created in the current
directory:
…/sample/pdffont
The file that is created from this test program is a font character file which contains an array of
font characters that when printed with the appropriate PDF417 symbol font will render the
PDF417 symbol for the following data:
