You can configure several features within OpenESQL Assistant, but for the purposes of this tutorial, you change just the value
               of the 
               		Type COBOL Variable setting. This setting determines the method used at runtime to resolve host variable definitions. By setting this option
               to 
               		Object, your compiled application communicates with the OpenESQL 
               		Managed Runtime, greatly improving performance.
