258.0. "Cobol Generator with RDB 5.0" by HGOVC::ALANCHAN (ALAN CHAN) Tue Nov 29 1988 11:02

	Does anybody has experience or knowledge of using Cobol Generator
	on RDB V5.0 ?

	We have heard that Cobol Generator has some bugs. Is that right ?

    The cobol generator creates code which is incompatible with the
    RDBPRE precompiler.  You do have the oprion of having calls to
    RDB$INTERPRET generated instead of precompiler code, however.  That
    is the only way to get working code from the cobol generator at
    this time.  The drawback to RDB$INTERPRET is that it takes longer
    to run than comparable precompiled statements.  A future version
    of the cobol generator should work correctly with the precompiler.
     You might want to check with the cobol generator people for more
    details.

    I guess that you really mean Rdb V3.0 and not V5.0. This might confuse
    some people.
