ACUCOBOL
To compile and link the sample program for ACUCOBOL:
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 ACUCOBOL and PDF417 encoder library (pruncbl):
•Change directory to the acu directory in the PDF417 distribution, .../pdf417/acu
•Make sure that the variables are defined correctly in pruncbl.umf
•Execute the make file:
$ make -f pruncbl.umf
2.Change directory to the sample directory (.../sample) and copy the following files to this directory:
$ cp …\pdf417\acu\compacu.sh .
3. Compile the following test program:
$ compacu.sh samplcob
This command will create a debuggable ACUCOBOL object file samplcob.
4. Run the new runtime with the ACUCOBOL object as a parameter:
$ …/acu/pruncbl 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.
