To create a new COBOL project from selected files in an existing project

You can use the Create COBOL Project dialog box to subdivide an existing COBOL project by selecting certain files in the project and moving or copying them to a new project in the same solution.
  1. In Solution Explorer, select the COBOL files and copybooks to use in the new project.
  2. Right-click the selection and choose Create COBOL Project.

    This starts the Create COBOL Project dialog box:

  3. Specify details for the new project as follows:
    Project Name
    Specify a name the new project to create in the directory of the original solution.
    Project Type
    Specify whether this should be a .NET framework project. If you leave .NET framework project unchecked, a native project will be created.
    Exclude selection from original project
    Ensure this is checked if you want to move the selected files from the original project to the new one. If you uncheck this, the selected files are copied to the new project.
    Selected files
    Click this to verify what files will be used in the new project.
  4. Click OK.

    This creates a new project in your solution with the same properties and references and with the default build configuration for the selected project type. If Exclude selection from original project was checked, the files you selected are now moved to the new project.
