The sample program,
book.cbl, reads an indexed file to satisfy its I/O requests. You need to add this file to the project. It is located in the archive file that you downloaded previously.
Procedure
- Right-click the project in COBOL Explorer, and click
Import > Import.
The
Import dialog box is displayed.
- Expand
General, and click
File System. Click
Next.
- Click
Browse against the
From directory field to locate the folder containing the
bookfile.dat file (for example,
C:\myfiles/home/myfiles/). Click
OK.
- Ensure that the entry for
bookfile.dat is the only checked item. Click
Finish.
The file is added to the project under the
src folder.
This section completes the creation of the COBOL project.
