Create the ACCTCLNT Project

Create the ACCTCLNT mainframe-enabled COBOL project for this tutorial.

To create a project to hold the sample application files:

  1. Start Eclipse using a workspace location of your choice.
  2. In Eclipse, be sure that the Team Developer Perspective is your active Eclipse perspective; then right-click Enterprise Development Projects in the Application Explorer view and select New COBOL Project > Mainframe COBOL Project.

    This starts the New Mainframe COBOL Project wizard.

  3. Type ACCTCLNT into the Project Name field.
  4. Click Finish.

    The ACCTCLNT project appears in the Application Explorer view. By default, its COBOL dialect is Enterprise COBOL for z/OS and the character set is EBCDIC.
