On the
Dependency Paths page, you will need to specify the location of the CTG COBOL copybooks. These are distributed with the IBM CTG software. On the machine on which we wrote this demonstration, the copybooks were located in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\ibm\CICS Transaction Gateway\copybook but this may not be the case in your own environment. The two copybook files we are interested in are:
cicseci.cbl and
cicsepi.cbl, and you may need to search for them on your machine to pinpoint their location.

On the
COBOL page, change the
Output path field to
