COBOL

This section provides COBOL module information for the Btrieve API.

Animated COBOL developers: The COBOL animator passes stack parameters from left to right, while the non-animated COBOL interface passes parameters from right to left. However, COBOL passes integers in the Intel high-low format for both animated and non-animated applications.

Also, the object modules MF2BTRV.OBJ and CSUPPORT.OBJ have been dropped from the COBOL interface. Use the module COBRBTRV.OBJ in place of these.

Non-animated COBOL developers: All numerical values passed to the MicroKernel as a parameter must be in the Intel format (low-high byte order). To accomplish this, define the values as COMP-5.
