Walks you through the process of creating a
Visual COBOL project for the BookDemo application and its service interface.

Create the ProgramEJB Project
Create a project for your service interface, and add files to the project:
- Start
Visual COBOL.
If this is the first time you start the application, you see the
Welcome page in Eclipse. Click
Open COBOL Perspective.
If you have already started Eclipse, click
Window > Show View > COBOL Explorer.
- From the Eclipse main menu, click
File >
New >
COBOL Project.
- In the
Project name field, type
ProgramEJB.
- Check
Use default location; then click
Finish.
The COBOL Explorer now shows the
ProgramEJB project.
- From the COBOL Explorer, right-click the
ProgramEJB project and select
Import > Import from the context menu.
This opens the
Import dialog box.
- Expand
General and click File System.
- Click
Next.
- Click the
Browse button that corresponds to the
From directory field, and browse to the
%PUBLIC%\Documents\Micro Focus\Visual COBOL\Samples\Interface Mapping Toolkit\ServiceInterfaces\BookDemo directory.
- Click
OK.
- On the list of files, check the following:
-
book.cbl
-
book-rec.cpy
-
bookfile.dat
-
bookfile.idx
- Click
Finish.
This adds the files to the project and builds the project automatically.
Set the COBOL Build Configuration
This IMTK project requires the build action to produce a dynamic link library (.dll) file for the
book program. To ensure this behavior:
- In the
COBOL Explorer, right-click the
ProgramEJB project; then select
Properties from the context menu.
- Expand
Micro Focus > Build Configurations, then click
COBOL.
- From the
Target Type list, select
All Native Library Files, then click
OK.
