To compile this code, use the cob command. The following example preprocesses and compiles the file test1.

When you use the cob command to compile the generated COBOL code, the compiler issues the following informational message:

As mentioned in the COBOL Data Items and Data Types (see page COBOL Data Items and Data Types) section in this chapter, COMP‑5 is an Ingres-compatible numeric data type, and a data item of the type is included in the Ingres system COPY file. You can ignore this warning or suppress it by using the cob compiler directive or command line flag:

Also, because the program will be run through the COBOL interpreter that is linked to the Ingres runtime system, do not modify the default values of the COBOL compiler align and ibmcomp directives. To run your embedded SQL/COBOL test program, use the ingrts command (an alias to your Ingres-linked RTS):
