Create a Project

To create a native COBOL project to hold the JCL demonstration program:

1. Create a directory named c:\tutorials on your local machine.

   This path has to match the path specified for the JCLPROJ variable that you configured on the enterprise server in an earlier procedure.

2. In Visual Studio, click File > New > Project.
3. In the New Project dialog box, expand Installed > COBOL.
4. Click Enterprise Server, and then click Native.
5. Select Mainframe Subsystem Application.
6. Specify your working folder in the Location field. This is the directory that you defined in step 1 above.
7. In the Name field, type jcl.
8. Click OK.

   This creates a jcl folder in your working folder that holds your solution and project.
