Set up the ACCTWEB Project

Create the ACCTWEB project

1. In the Eclipse Application Explorer view, right-click Enterprise Development Projects; then select New COBOL Project > Mainframe COBOL Project.

   This starts the New Mainframe COBOL Project wizard.

2. Type ACCTWEB into the Project Name field.
3. Click Finish.

   The ACCTWEB project appears in the Application Explorer view. By default, the COBOL dialect is Enterprise COBOL for z/OS and the character set is EBCDIC.

Import the ACCTWEB Demonstration Application

1. In Eclipse, select your project in the Application Explorer view.
2. From the main menu, click File > Import.
3. In the Import dialog box, expand General, click File System and then click Next.
4. Click the Browse button that corresponds to the From directory field, and then navigate to the ACCTWEB sample files, located by default in the $COBDIR/demo/cics/ACCTWEB directory.
5. Click OK.
6. In the left panel, expand the ACCTWEB folder.
7. Check the boxes next to all of the listed folders, which include:
   • bms
   • cbl
   • cpy
   • data
   • html
   • repos
   • system
8. Click Finish.

   This imports all required files into your project and builds the project.

   Note: The project build fails at this point because you have not set any project properties. You do this next.

2. In the Folder name field, type loadlib, and then click Finish.
