Converting the data structures

The conversion procedure can only be called under the user ID where the library COB2XML.LIB is stored.

Before calling the conversion procedure, assign the link names COBLIB<n> (<n>= 1, .., 9) to the COPY libraries required for compilation of the source. For example, for a UTM COBOL program assign a link name to the library containing the UTM-COPY elements in order to ensure that the UTM-COPY elements can be found. You do this using the command ADD-FILE-LINK:

/ADD-FILE-LINK COBLIB1, <copy_library>

(see also the manual “COBOL2000 (BS2000), COBOL-Compiler”).

The link name COBLIB is used internally.

You can then start the procedures D.XMLPROG or D.XMLCOPY from the library COB2XML.LIB. The parameters are described in the sections below.
