Create and populate a new project for the server programs

Create a folder structure and project for the server-based CICS programs.
  1. Create a working folder on your machine, such as C:\CTG. We recommend that you use the same naming convention as is used in this demonstration - it will lead to fewer errors and you can always delete your project files when you have finished.
  2. Start Enterprise Developer.
  3. Click File > New > Mainframe COBOL Project.
  4. Specify a name for your project such as CTGDEMO.
  5. Uncheck Use default location.
  6. Click Browse, navigate to and click your C:\CTG folder, click Make New Folder and specify CTGDEMO as the name of the new folder.
  7. Click OK and then click Finish.
  8. Create the following folders in your CTGDEMO directory:
    • cblsrv - CICS server programs
    • cpy - copybooks
    • loadlib - executables
    • data - data files
    • system - CICS resource files
  9. Copy the COBOL server programs from your sample folder %PUBLIC%\Documents\Micro Focus\Enterprise Developer\Samples\Mainframe\CICS\Classic\CTGDEMO\cblsrv to your new cblsrv directory above.
  10. After you've copied the two COBOL server programs, return to the COBOL Explorer, click on the name of your project - CTGDEMO - and press F5 to refresh the project.
