Hi Eugenio, I use the AIO SuperBOL. The compressed installation file with all dll's and no specific program is only 11Mb. Not a big overhead. It is always possible to create installation file without unnecessary dll's with options in the ISS script.

Dear Eugenio, you can use Inno setup https://jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php, an open source installation builder for Windows applications. It is easy to create installation scripts. You can put all the runtime components needed by gnucobol, your app, etc. Maybe this small Inno Setup script can be a start for an installation program. Put the iss file in the directory where you have the exe or your app and compile the iss. It takes the necessary binaries of my local developer installation. In my case, it...

Yes of course, you can debug, put breakpoints, examine the content of variables, etc. The people of Superbol could explain it better than me!

Simon, Thanks for the remarks. The modification for note2 has been done. I added parameters in the command line for the database name, user, etc. It is in a small github repo: https://github.com/proteomis/cobol_sql_hostvariables

Hello, For those who find it tedious to manually generate the SQL table declarations, COBOL host variables, and COBOL indicator variables required to use embedded SQL for COBOL, here is a small Python script that does the job, at least the basics. The script is designed for Postgresql databases. It connects to a database, retrieves the list of tables, and for each table, it creates a cpy file containing the declarations. All that remains is to specify the file in the WSS. It uses the cobol free format....

As a modest part-time developer, here are two points that seem important to me: * full support for JSON GENERATE, XML GENERATE, JSON PARSE, XML PARSE ; * tighter integration with ocesql and/or gixsql with a CDF >>SQL [options] to facilitate use of embedded sql called directly by cobc.

A very simple one: a button to compile and a button to compile and run the program I am editing. Dear Eugenio, you can add the "Build Button" extension to VSCode/VSCodium. It will build your project. If you go to the VSCode marketplace, you will find extensions offering different possibilities to add and customize buttons.
