Create a Project

To create a native COBOL project to hold the JCL demonstration program:

1. Create a directory named c:\tutorials on your local machine.

   This path has to match the path specified for the JCLPROJ variable that you configured on the enterprise server in an earlier procedure.

2. In Visual Studio, click File > New > Project.
3. In the Create a new project dialog box, select COBOL from the Language drop-down list.
4. Select Mainframe Subsystem Application, and click Next.
5. Specify your working folder in the Location field. This is the directory that you defined in step 1 above.
6. In the Project name field, type jcl.
7. Click Create.

   This creates a jcl folder in your working folder that holds your solution and project.
