Create a Project

Create a project for your service interface, and add files to the project.

1. From Visual COBOL, click File > New > COBOL Project.
   Note: If COBOL Project is not on the list, click File > New > Project > Micro Focus COBOL > COBOL Project; then click Next.
2. In the Project name field, type ProgramREST.
3. If not already checked, check Use default location; then click Finish.
   Note: If prompted to open the COBOL perspective, click Yes.

   The COBOL Explorer now shows the ProgramREST project.

4. From the COBOL Explorer, right-click the ProgramREST project and select Import > Import from the context menu.
5. Expand General; then double-click File System.
6. Click the Browse button that corresponds to the From directory field, and browse to the $COBDIR/demo\Interface Mapping Toolkit\ServiceInterfaces\ScheduleDemo directory; then click OK.
7. In the left pane, check ScheduleDemo to select all files listed in both panes.
8. In the right pane, uncheck Readme-Ec.xml and Readme.xml. These files are used by the Samples Browser.
9. Click Finish.

   Visual COBOL adds the files and builds the project automatically.

10. From the COBOL Explorer, right-click the ProgramREST project; then click Properties.
11. Expand Micro Focus > Build Configurations; then click COBOL.
12. From the Target Type drop-down list, select All Native Library Files; then click OK.
