You can access a TIBCO Object Service Broker table from a COBOL source program that contains embedded TIBCO Object Service Broker access statements or SQL statements. The COBOL program participates with TIBCO Object Service Broker as a client as opposed to a server as outlined in this manual.
If you have an existing COBOL program that accesses databases such as DB2, you can modify the program to access the TIBCO Object Service Broker database. If the COBOL program came as a package that normally accesses DB2 with SQL statements, you can use the program with a few modifications to access the TIBCO Object Service Broker database instead.
Samples are provided showing COBOL programs with embedded TIBCO Object Service Broker and SQL access statements. The following table lists the samples that are shipped with TIBCO Object Service Broker in the COBOL and JCL data sets:
