If you are presented with the
Welcome page, click
Open COBOL Perspective. Alternatively, open the perspective from
Window > Perspective > Open Perspective.
Click
File > New > COBOL Project.
The
New COBOL Project dialog is displayed.
In the
Project Name field, type
DataTools, then click
Finish.
In the
COBOL Explorer pane, right-click the
DataTools project, then on the drop-down menu, click
Import > Import.
In the
Import dialog box, select
General > File System, and then click
Next.
On the
File System screen, click
Browse to the right of the
From directory field.
Browse to the
DataToolsDemo samples directory installed with
Visual COBOL, which by default is
%PUBLIC%\Documents\Micro Focus\Visual COBOL\Samples\ClassicDataToolsDemo and select the
ClassicDataToolsDemo folder on the left-hand pane.
In the right-hand pane, select
datavseq.dat and
dfdstaff.cbl, then click
Finish.
Right-click the project and select
Rename, then type
DataToolsDemo in the
New name field and click
OK.
By default, Eclipse builds the project automatically and creates the
dfdstaff.idy file in the
New_Configuration.bin project subfolder; if it has not, on the
Project menu, select
Build Automatically. You will need
dfdstaff.idy later in this tutorial.
