Creating a DLL or a DLL application
Creating a dynamic link library (DLL) or a DLL application is similar to creating a regular COBOL application. It involves writing, compiling, and linking your source code.
Special considerations when writing a DLL or a DLL application include:
- Determining how the parts of the program object or the application relate to each other or to other DLLs
- Deciding what linking or calling mechanisms to use
Depending on whether you want to create a DLL program object or a program object that references a separate DLL, you need to use slightly different compiler and binder (linkage-editor) options.
