Create a Native Visual COBOL Project

Create the project in which your RM/COBOL source code will be imported.
  1. Launch Visual COBOL. Specify a path for the Eclipse workspace when prompted.

    If this is the first time you start Eclipse, you now see the Eclipse Welcome page, click Open COBOL Perspective.

  2. If the IDE does not start in the COBOL perspective, to change to it, click Window > Open Perspective > Other, click COBOL, and then click OK.

    Perspectives are an Eclipse concept and they include the views, menus and options relevant to your activity. The COBOL perspective shows the COBOL Explorer, Outline and Console views, among others. The perspective is customizable, so you can choose your own views.

  3. Select File > New > COBOL Project .

    The New COBOL Project dialog box is displayed.

  4. In the Project name field, specify a name for the project.
  5. Click Finish.

    The project is created, and displayed in the COBOL Explorer.
