You can ensure that your application is always run in a consistent environment by building a run-time configuration into the application. These settings configure the COBOL run-time environment each time your application is started so that it always behaves as you have specified, regardless of settings used by other COBOL applications.
You can configure the application behavior using:
- Project > Properties > Micro Focus > Run-time Configuration. These settings apply to the project. They are the defaults and are overridden by any run-time settings in the general run-time configuration (described below)
- Run > Run Configurations. Like build configurations, you can have multiple run configurations and swap between them. These run-time settings override the project settings.
