Create and populate a new project for the server programs

Create a folder structure and project for the server-based CICS programs.
  1. Create a working folder on your machine, such as C:\CTG. We recommend that you use the same naming convention as is used in this demonstration - it will lead to fewer errors and you can always delete your project files when you have finished.
  2. Start Enterprise Developer.
  3. In Visual Studio, click File > New > Project.
  4. In the Create a new project dialog box, select COBOL from the Language drop-down list.
  5. Click Mainframe Subsystem Application, and then click Next.
  6. Specify a name for your project such as CTGDEMO.
  7. Specify a working folder in the Location field. This is the folder C:\CTG you specified in step 1 above.
  8. Click Create. This creates a CTGDEMO folder within your project working folder.
  9. Create the following folders in your CTGDEMO directory:
    • cblsrv - CICS server programs
    • cpy - copybooks
    • loadlib - executables
    • data - data files
    • system - CICS resource files
  10. Finally, copy the COBOL server programs from your sample folder %PUBLIC%\Documents\Micro Focus\Enterprise Developer\Samples\Mainframe\CICS\Classic\CTGDEMO\cblsrv to your new cblsrv directory above.
