ACUCOBOL ACUODBC

[#1]

Hi Guys,

I need to retrieve data from a program working with technology called ACUCOBOL / ACUODBC.

Can anyone give some help?

Can I do it with QV?

Where should I start?

Are there any examples?

Thanks in advance,

Aldo.

Hi,

I have not worked on this. But, what I understood from acucorp's website is that they provide ODBC driver for querying the ACUCOBOL data.

You should be able to connect to ACUCOBOL from Qlikview through this ODBC driver since Qlikview can access data from a ODBC.

It seems that I have to pay to get the ACUODBC Driver, in order to connect QV to Cobol files... At least I need to try it and see it works before buying it, don't you think?

Yes Aldo. Check if there is any trial version of the ODBC driver and test the connection.

But, I guess the ODBC driver should work without any issues as it is mentioned in their website that ACUODBC converts the SQL requests to COBOL I/O actions, which will be required for us to fetch the data into qlikview.

Cheers,
