- Under
Installed Templates, click
COBOL.

Visual Studio adds the stored procedure definition file and a skeleton COBOL program to your project; then opens the stored procedure definition file in the text editor.
Note: You can also generate a stored procedure definition file and COBOL skeleton program from an extracted DB2 schema using the HCOSS Generate SPD File tool. When migrating from DB2 using HCOSS, this is the preferred method.
