Building COBSQL Applications with Eclipse

Note: The following applies to COBSQL applications you develop on a local UNIX machine, or when, from a Windows machine, you develop remote projects on a UNIX machine.

If you are working with a COBSQL/Oracle application, you need to change your project build settings. In your local Eclipse IDE, once you have created a project containing the Pro*COBOL application, you need to update the project properties as follows:

  1. In the COBOL perspective, select your project in the COBOL Explorer window.
  2. Click Project > Properties.
  3. In the Properties dialog, expand Micro Focus COBOL and click Build Configurations.
  4. Select the appropriate configuration under Available configurations and click Edit.
  5. Click Next on the subsequent pages for Configuration Settings, Build Events and Target Platform Settings.
  6. On the Linked Executable Settings page, type the program name in the Entry point name text entry field.
  7. Click Finish.
