3.1 Creating Programs

Create and edit programs by using the functions of the DB access class library described in Chapter 4 and later part of this manual.

A library file having symbolic constants defined within FJDBOPT.CBL is stored in the COPY folder of the folder in which the DB access class library is installed. To use symbolic constants in a program, see the following instructions:

Write a COPY statement in the SYMBOLIC CONSTANT phrase in the special-names paragraph of the configuration section of the environment division and specify a library file.
```
       Example:
       ENVIRONMENT DIVISION.
       CONFIGURATION SECTION.
       SPECIAL-NAMES.
       SYMBOLIC CONSTANT
           COPY FJDBOPT.
           .
```
