Start > All Programs > Micro Focus COBOL Server> Data Tools > Data Connections > ODBC Data Source Administrator > (32-bit) or
(64-bit).
Note: If using Windows 8 or later, press the
Windows key on your keyboard and type
ODBC Data; then select
ODBC Data Sources (32-bit) or
(64-bit).
- In the ODBC Data Source Administrator, click the
User DSN or
System DSN tab.
- Click
Add.
- On the
Name list, select a database type; then click
Finish.
This launches the Microsoft Create a New Data Source wizard.
- Complete the fields as appropriate; then click
OK to close the ODBC Data Source Administrator.
