Thanks. Will try the test suite. We're going to need to access some PostgreSQL data from Cobol at some point. We have ODBC drivers for PostgreSQL and we have the PostgreSQL libraries. Any recommendations on the best way to add PostgreSQL or ODBC database access with GNU Cobol. The GNU Cobol FAQ and Internet searches turned up the following options: Use simpleodbc preprocessor: https://sourceforge.net/p/open-cobol/discussion/contrib/thread/3d4f1141/ Use esqlOC: http://www.kiska.net/opencobol/esql/ Use OCESQL: http://www.osscons.jp/osscobol/download/ https://github.com/debinix/openjensen/blob/master/doc/compile-sql-preprocessor-with-utf8.md Does anyone know of pros and cons to these options or have a preferred method of accessing data using ODBC and GNUCobol? Sincerely, Laura
