You now need to import two CTG copybook files. 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.
-
When you have located the copybook files, right-click on the name of the CTGCLI project in COBOL Explorer, and select
Import > Import > File System, then click
Next > and the topmost
Browse button, and navigate to the folder which you know contains the copybook files. When done, click
OK.
-
Check
cicsepi.cbl and
cicseci.cbl in the right-hand top pane. Click the lower
Browse button and navigate to your project's
cblcli directory. Click
OK when done, and then finally, on the next screen, click
Finish.
