Create a Visual Studio Project

Because the service generated from this CICS Screen service interfaces tutorial runs on an enterprise server not associated with the other tutorials, it needs its own project (enterprise servers are associated with a project rather than any specific service interface). In the project, we must add the application files needed to define the service interface and then access the deployed service.

1. From the IMTKTutorials Solution in the Solution Explorer, right-click the solution name; then click Add > New Project.
2. In the New Project dialog box, expand Installed > COBOL.
3. Click the Native category.
4. In the Name field, type CICSScreenWS.
   Note: Because you are creating the project from the IMTKTutorials solution, the default settings for Project types, Templates, and Location are already correct.
5. Click OK. The CICSScreenWS project now appears in the Solution Explorer.
6. Right-click the CICSScreenWS project, and click Add > Existing Item.
7. Browse to the %PUBLIC%\Documents\Micro Focus\Enterprise Developer\Samples\Mainframe\Interface Mapping Toolkit\Classic\ServiceInterfaces\ACCTDemo folder.
8. From the drop-down list, select BMS files (*.bms) to show just BMS files; then select the acctset.bms file.
9. Click Add.
10. To save this project, click File > Save CICSScreenWS.
