Installing and configuring software for ODBC

To enable ODBC for data access in COBOL for Windows, you must install an ODBC driver manager and drivers, add the ODBC database drivers necessary for your installation, and install the RDBMS client (for example, DB2 UDB, Oracle 7 SQL*NET).

After installing the drivers, you need to configure your data sources by using the ODBC Administrator program. A data source consists of a DBMS and any remote operating system and network necessary to access it. Because Windows can host multiple users, users must configure their own data sources. For detailed configuration information for the specific driver that you need to configure, refer to the appropriate section of the online help for that driver.
