RCCBL PRDBIN

Use this parameter to specify where RemoteCall can find the COBOL executables. By default, RemoteCall looks in a predefined location. This might not be the location where you've installed them on your system:

• In UNIX, RemoteCall looks in $PS_HOME/cblbin.

• In Windows, RemoteCall looks in %PS_HOME%\cblbin%PS_COBOLTYPE%. The %PS_COBOLTYPE% variable contains a single letter that indicates the character encoding for the database platform. It's automatically set to one of the following values when the application server starts:

  • U — Unicode.

  • A — Non-Unicode.

  • E — EBCDIC.

To override this default behavior, set RCCBL PRDBIN to the absolute path of your COBOL executables, for example:

• In Windows: RCCBL PRDBIN=c:\pscobol\MYDOMAIN\cblbin

• In UNIX: RCCBL PRDBIN=/app/psoft/MYDOMAIN/cblbin

Note:

This parameter doesn't appear in the PSADMIN custom configuration interface if it's not already set. You must define it by editing the application server configuration file directly. On the PeopleSoft Domain Administration menu, select Edit configuration/log files menu, then select Edit psappsrv.cfg (current configuration file) to open psappsrv.cfg in a text editor. Define the RCCBL PRDBIN parameter in the RemoteCall section of the file.
