The compiler searches for dependent files such as COBOL copybooks in the folders defined on the
Dependency Paths tab of the
Build Path page in the project’s properties (click
Micro Focus > Build Path in the project’s properties). This tab enables you to include specific folders and also to control the search order.
If you have imported copybooks using a virtual folder in your project, you need to add them to the project's dependencies. To do this navigate to
Micro Focus > Build Path in the project's properties then on the
Dependency Paths tab check the copybook paths that correspond to the folders that include the imported copybooks, and then click
OK.
To add
dependency paths
You can specify folders outside your project or at a remote location. To add a new path:
- Click
Add.
This opens the
Add File System Directory dialog box.
- In the
Directory field, type the path to the folder required. Alternatively, you can click
Browse to open the
Browse For Folder dialog box.
Note: For a network file system such as NFS or Samba, the
Directory value should be the UNIX or Linux representation of the path. For example, a location of
X:NFS-mounted-drive location\project name can be represented by a remote location of
/home/users/my-folder.
- If you want to search subfolders
as part of the dependency path, click
Include subfolders.
- Click
Finish.
Note: Paths are specified as absolute paths, so if you share projects between users you need to ensure that the same path structure is used on each users's computer.
