Looking for Embedded SQL for COBOL toolkit

Does anybody know where i can find "Microsoft Embedded SQL for COBOL
Programmer's Reference" or "Microsoft Embedded SQL for COBOL Programmer's
Toolkit" ?
I have Microsoft COBOL 5.0 and MicroFocus COBOL 3.4 and would like to access
SQL databases from COBOL.
I've tried eBay, Amazon, Google etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have no idea where you can find it, but there is probably a good reason
why you can't: this product is a dead-end, and you cannot use all
functionality in SQL Server with it. The only reason to use embedded SQL
with SQL Server is because you are working with a legacy product.
