Resolution:

In terms of COBOL code changes,if you plan to make use of the additional ADO features change any SQL(DBMAN=ODBC) directives to SQL(DBMAN=ADO)

Additionally, configure the ADO Database Connection (similar concept to configuring an ODBC connection).

Do this via the ADO.NET Connection Editor tool that ships with Visual COBOL/Enterprise Developer (Accessible via the Windows Start Menu group for the Visual COBOL or Enterprise Developer Program Group > Data Tools > Data Connections).

Once the ADO connection is set up and SQL DBMAN directive updated, then recompile the application to start using ADO Technology.
