Cobol and DB2


Program Preparation and Execution

 Pre-compilation
 Compilation
 Linking
 Binding
 Execution

© Strictly confidential 2
Pre-compilation
Involves the following sequence of events.

 Syntax checking of SQL statements embedded in the host language.


 Checking for datatype matches.
 Commenting out the SQL statements and replacing it with equivalent
COBOL CALL statements.
 Creation of DBRM.

Binding
 Is the process of generating an application plan/package from a
DBRM.
 Involves the following sequence of events.
◦ Checking syntax of SQL statements.
◦ Verification of authority on DB2 objects.
◦ Optimization of SQL statements to create an application plan.

Application plan and package
Package
 Is the executable form of a single DBRM, but is not independently
executable.
 Is bound to an application plan with related packages.
 Only the plan is independently executable.
 If any DBRM is altered, then only the corresponding package needs
re-binding.

Plan
 Is the executable form of one or more DBRMs and application
package.
 Should be generated every time any DBRM is modified.
 Are kept in the buffer pools during program execution.

Some Issues related to Binding
 In CICS, every DBRM associated with a transaction
must be put under the same Plan.
 The RCT (Resource Control Table) in CICS maintains TRANSID to
PLAN NAME relationship.
 Good to use packages to avoid long bind time.

Some common SQL codes

0 Successful execution
+100 Row not found or end of records
-811 Multiple rows returned, but not coded
using cursor in application program
-803 Duplicate insertion for unique column
-818 Timestamp mismatch between DBRM and
load module
-911,-913 Deadlock or timeout
-904 Resource not available

+ indicates warning, - indicates error


DB2 error handling…
• As it is difficult to remember what each every SQLCODE
represents, IBM has provided a sub-program called
DSNTIAR to provide more information to the programmer
when his / her program abends with an SQL error.
• How to use DSNTIAR?
• In WORKING STORAGE, declare the following data items:
01 WS-ERR-MSG.
05 WS-ERR-LEN PIC S9(4) COMP VALUE +720.
05 WS-ERR-TXT PIC X(72) OCCURS 10 TIMES
INDEXED BY WS-ERR-INDEX.
77 WS-ERR-TXT-LEN PIC S9(9) COMP VALUE +72.
…DB2 error handling
• In the PROCEDURE DIVISION, in the abend para, code:
CALL ‘DSNTIAR’ USING SQLCA,
WS-ERR-MSG,
WS-ERR-TXT-LEN.
PERFORM VARYING WS-ERR-INDEX FROM 1 BY 1
UNTIL WS-ERR-INDEX = 10
DISPLAY WS-ERR-TXT (WS-ERR-INDEX)
END-PERFORM.
• When DSNTIAR is called (with SQLCA being passed to it),
WS-ERR-MSG (that has an array) will be populated with the
details of the error that SQL encountered.
• To see the details, values in the WS-ERR-TXT data items are
displayed.
