To build a COBOL project

  1. Specify the build configuration.

    Use the Configuration Manager to choose the build configuration to use for your project or solution.

  2. Set properties for your projects such as, for example:
    • On the Application tab, specify the type of executable to build, such as a class library or an application
    • On the COBOL tab, specify how to build the project, such as Compiler directives
    • On the Copybook Paths tab, specify the copybook locations
    • On the Debug tab, choose the build configuration, such as Debug or Release
  3. From Solution Explorer, add an application configuration file to a native project and use it to set any required environment variables and COBOL switches.
  4. Build the project, by clicking Build > Build project name.
