Code the access statements in the Working Storage Section and Procedure Division of your COBOL program. Each line of an access statement must start with the dollar sign symbol ($) in column 7, followed by the statement itself starting in column 12.
You then define the table or tables for your use. If table, parameter, or field names are invalid for COBOL, you must also define valid COBOL names in these statements. The following example defines the TDS table EMPLOYEE and re-assigns a valid COBOL name (
mgrno) to a TIBCO Object Service Broker field (
mgr#):
Refer to Coding Considerations for more information about assigning COBOL names to TIBCO Object Service Broker objects.
