- 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. By default,
Visual COBOL automatically builds the project, and automatically generates an
.idy file for each program in the project.
Note: Visual COBOL writes
.idy files to the output directory specified in your project properties.
