Import and Build the Sample Project

  1. If you are presented with the Welcome page, click Open Team Developer Perspective. Alternatively, open the perspective from Window > Perspective > Open Perspective.
  2. Click File > New > COBOL Project. The New COBOL Project dialog is displayed.
  3. In the Project Name field, type DataTools, then click Finish.
  4. In the COBOL Explorer pane, right-click the DataTools project, then on the drop-down menu, click Import > Import.
  5. In the Import dialog box, select General > File System, and then click Next.
  6. On the File System screen, click Browse to the right of the From directory field.
  7. Browse to the DataToolsDemo samples directory installed with Enterprise Developer, which by default is %PUBLIC%\Documents\Micro Focus\Enterprise Developer\Samples\ClassicDataToolsDemo and select the ClassicDataToolsDemo folder on the left-hand pane.
  8. In the right-hand pane, select datavseq.dat and dfdstaff.cbl, then click Finish.
  9. Right-click the project and select Rename, then type DataToolsDemo in the New name field and click OK. By default, Eclipse builds the project automatically and creates the dfdstaff.idy file in the New_Configuration.bin project subfolder; if it has not, on the Project menu, select Build Automatically. You will need dfdstaff.idy later in this tutorial.
