File names and extensions supported by cob2
Files with certain extensions are processed by the compiler. The file
extension .CBL is most commonly used for COBOL source.
All
other files are passed to the linker. Those with recognized file extensions are
processed as follows:
- .DEF
- The name of the module definition file.
- .DLL
- The name of the generated dynamic link library (DLL). The default DLL is
the first source file listed in the cob2 command that has extension
.DLL.
- .EXP
- The name of the export file.
- .EXE
- The name of the generated executable file. If not specified, the name
defaults to the name of the first COBOL source file listed in the cob2
command that has extension .EXE.
- .IMP
- The name of the import library associated with a DLL that contains symbols
(usually names of external routines) referenced by your programs. This file
is used by the linker to resolve those references.
- .LIB
- The name of the import or standard library, which contains symbols
(usually names of external routines) referenced by your programs. This file
is used by the linker to resolve those references.
- .MAP
- The name of the map file. If /MAP is not specified, no map file
is generated.
- .OBJ
- The name of the object file to be passed to the linker.
