- Start
Visual COBOL and open a project that contains the COBOL program(s) on which you want to base a record layout file.
- On the
Visual COBOL project COBOL properties page, check
Compile for debugging; then save the project.
- Build the project to generate an
.idy file for each program in the project, or build a specific program to generate its
.idy file.
Note: Visual COBOL writes
.idy files to the output directory specified in your project properties.
