Import Sample Application Files

Import the components of the ACCT sample application into your new project.
  1. In Eclipse, select your project in the Application Explorer view.
  2. Click File > Import.
  3. In the Import dialog box, expand General, select File System, and then click Next.
  4. Click the Browse button that corresponds to the From directory field, and navigate to the demonstration project folder, which by default is %PUBLIC%\Documents\Micro Focus\Enterprise Developer\Samples\Mainframe\CICS\Classic\ACCT.
  5. Click OK.
  6. In the left panel, expand the ACCT folder.
  7. Check the boxes next to the following folders:
    • bms
    • cbl
    • cpy
  8. Click Finish.

    This imports all required files into your project, creates the .dll, .idy and .mod files in the loadlib directory, generates a .cpy file from the BMS (this is stored in the cpy folder), and attempts to build the project; however, the build fails because the path to the generated copybook must be included in the project properties.

  9. Right-click the ACCT project name; then select Properties from the context menu.
  10. Expand Micro Focus; then click Build Path.
  11. On the Dependency Paths tab, select COBOL Copybook Paths from the Type drop-down list.
  12. Check ACCT/cpy, which is the path to the imported copybooks.
  13. Click Apply and Close.
    Note: If a Delete User Files prompt appears, click No.

    By default, Eclipse builds the project automatically every time you make a change.
