Import and Build the Sample Project
-
On your local drive, create a
tutorials directory, then create a
DataToolsDemo subdirectory. For example,
c:\tutorials\DataToolsDemo.
-
Copy all files from the
DataToolsDemo samples directory installed with
Visual COBOL, which by default is
%PUBLIC%\Documents\Micro Focus\Visual COBOL\Samples\ClassicDataToolsDemo, to your new local
c:\tutorials\DataToolsDemo directory.
-
Start
Visual COBOL.
-
Click
.
-
Use the Open Project dialog box to navigate to the local
tutorials\DataToolsDemo directory.
-
Double-click
ClassicDataToolsDemo.sln to open it.
-
From the Solution Explorer, right-click the
ClassicDataToolsDemo solution; then select
Build from the context menu.
This compiles the COBOL program
dfdstaff.cbl and creates the
dfdstaff.idy file in the output directory of the solution, which is used later in this tutorial.
