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.
