Micro Focus COBOL
To compile and link the sample program for Micro Focus COBOL:
NOTE: Compiling and testing the COBOL sample is not a required step for installation of the
PDF417 Encoder. It is recommended if you will be using the COBOL API.
1. Create a runtime which includes Micro Focus COBOL and PDF417 encoder library
(
prunmf
):
•
Change directory to the mf directory in the PDF417 distribution,
.../pdf417/mf
•
Make sure that the variables are defined correctly in
prunmf.umf
•
Execute the make file:
$ make -f prunmf.umf
2. Change directory to the sample directory
(
.../sample
) and copy the following files to this
directory:
$ cp …\pdf417\mf\compmf.sh .
3. Compile the following test program:
$ compmf.sh samplcob
This command will create two files: an intermediate code file
samplcob.int
and an
animation information file
samplcob.idy
4. Run the new runtime with the intermediate file as a parameter:
$ …/mf/prunmf
samplcob
5. For successful execution, there will be no screen I/O but one file will be created in the current
directory:
…/sample/pdffont
The file that is created from this test program is a font character file which contains an array of
font characters that when printed with the appropriate PDF417 symbol font will render the
PDF417 symbol for the following data:
This is a test of the NeoMedia Technologies PDF417 Encoder.
The error
correction will encode at level 3 with ECC padding.
