To generate an .idy file

  1. From the COBOL Explorer, open your project properties. On the COBOL page, check Compile for debugging.
  2. Click OK.
  3. Build your project.
    Note: If you have Build Automatically turned on (default), Eclipse builds the project automatically when you click OK.

    Enterprise Developer creates the .idy file in the configname.bin subdirectory of your project's workspace, where configname is the name of the current build configuration.
