�¡About symbolic constants

A library file having symbolic constants defined in it, 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, follow the instructions given below:


• 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.
             . 
  

• Specify the folder containing the library file as a "library file folder." For information on specifying a library file folder, refer to "COBOL97 User's Guide".
