Installation image and filesets

The installation image for COBOL for AIX is available physically on an installation Start of change DVD End of change , and electronically in the cobol.5.1.GM.aix.tar .Z installation package in the /usr/sys/inst.images directory.

The image includes filesets for the following compiler components:

COBOL for AIX compiler filesets 5.1
COBOL for AIX non-production runtime environment filesets 5.1
XL C++ runtime environment filesets 11.1
SMARTdata Utilities filesets
IBM Debugger filesets 7.1

IBM Debugger filesets 7.1

ibmdebugger.jre	Supersede entry, not installed
ibmdebugger.ui	Supersede entry, not installed

The IBM Debugger for AIX, V7.1 is included with the COBOL for AIX installation image. This source-level debugger uses a client/server model:

The debug engine is a server component that is installed on AIX.
The debug client is a graphical user interface that is installed on Windows workstations.

The installation file, idebug.install_7.1.0.zip, of the Windows debug client is in the IBMdebugger/windows/ directory of the installation image.

Notes:

The IBM Debugger for AIX, V7.1 supersedes the IBM Distributed Debugger. If the IBM Distributed Debugger V9.2 is installed on your system, it will be removed upon installation of the IBM Debugger for AIX, V7.1. The post-installation script then modifies the idebug fileset levels in the Object Data Manager (ODM) database to 99.99.9999.9999 to prevent future installations of idebug.* filesets.
The AIX client of the IBM Debugger for AIX is discontinued.
The IBM Debugger for AIX, V7.1 debug engine filesets, ibmdebugger.*, are automatically installed during a basic compiler installation. To install the Windows debug client of the IBM Debugger, see Installation information for the Windows client.

Preparing the electronic distribution package

If you have downloaded the COBOL for AIX electronic distribution package, Start of change

cobol.5.1.GM.aix.tar End of change

.Z, follow these steps before attempting to install:

Remember: You must be logged in as root user or have superuser authority.

To uncompress and unpack the file, use the command:
```
zcat  cobol.5.1.GM.aix.tar .Z | tar -xvf -
```
Use the command inutoc directory_name to generate a .toc file in the specified directory.

The following example shows the steps to prepare the electronic distribution package, Start of change

cobol.5.1.GM.aix.tar End of change

.Z, located in the new directory, /compiler/install/ for installation.

cd /compiler/install
zcat  cobol.5.1.GM.aix.tar .Z | tar -xvf - 
cd usr/sys/inst.images
inutoc .

Refer to System prerequisites to ensure that system prerequisites are met and the installation method described in Installing COBOL for AIX to install the compiler.

National language support

The COBOL for AIX compiler and runtime messages support the following language locales:

en_US (ISO8859-1)
ja_JP (IBM-eucJP)
Ja_JP (IBM-943)

English (en_US) is the default national language. Following installation, you can set the NLSPATH so that messages are displayed in a different language. See Enabling the COBOL for AIX error messages.
