To generate a COBOL console client application from WSDL or JSON

We provide two options:

Generate the client application as a new project

1. In Enterprise Developer, click File > New > Project.
2. Expand Templates > COBOL; then click Native.
3. In the center panel, click Web Service Client Application from WSDL/JSON.
4. Complete the Name, Location, and Solution name fields as required.
5. Check or uncheck the Create directory for solution and Add to source control check boxes as required.
6. Click OK.
7. Browse to an existing WSDL or JSON file; then click Open.

   Enterprise Developer creates a solution and project that contains the generated client application files.

Generate the client application using files in an existing project

1. In the Solution Explorer, right-click a WSDL or JSON file, or select and then right-click both a request and a response JSON file that jointly describe a COBOL application; then select Generate Web Service from the context menu.
2. On the Generate Web Service dialog box, select the Client radio button.
3. In the Program group Name field, optionally provide an alternative program name.
4. Click OK.

   Enterprise Developer generates and adds the client application files to a new project in the current solution.
