Is this possible? I have searched around and can't seem to get a definitive answer. I know Relativity gives ODBC access to the cobol files, but I am wanting to know can I use MySQL (or any SQL RDBMS for that matter) as the database backend to an RMCobol app (and not using the ISAM files). I am relatively new to Cobol. Took it in college back in mid 80s. I inherited some clients that use this app written in RMCobol. Was exploring options. I know of but haven't studied Visual Cobol that much. I have also read that depending on what RM extensions were used, Open Cobol might be able to compile RMCobol source. I think it can CALL an RDBMS backend. If RMCobol can't, that would really surprise me in this day and age since it is still being sold.
Thanks!
Mark
