Create a project

You create a project that comprises all the parts of your application, for example the COBOL source and BMS files. You build the demonstration application in the IDE, and deploy and run it on an Enterprise Server configured with the MSS.

1. Create a working directory on your machine such as c:\tutorials.
2. Start Visual Studio.
3. Click File > New > Project.
4. Under the COBOL templates, click Native and then Mainframe Subsystem Application.
5. Specify a name for your project such as ACCT.
6. Specify your working folder, c:\tutorials, in the Location field.
7. Disable Create directory for solution.
8. Click OK.

   This creates an ACCT folder in your working directory.
