To build a COBOL project
- Click Project > Properties.
- Expand Micro Focus COBOL if necessary and select Build configurations.
- Click either New or Edit as appropriate. Notice that you can create several build configurations for the same project, so that you can build it in several ways.
- On the first page of the wizard, the Configuration Settings page, you can specify how to build the project for debugging. For example:
- Expand COBOL if it is collapsed.
- Check Enable configuration specific settings.
- Check Compile for debugging, which ensures that the necessary intermediate (.int) and information (.idy) files are generated.
- Limit the number of error markers in the build to manage error reporting.
- Open Embedded SQL to set SQL specific options including directives.
- Specify the use of library files under Micro Focus Library File (lbr).
- Specify any directives in Additional directives.
- On subsequent pages of the wizard you can specify:
- Pre and post build events.
- The platform on which the application will run.
- The target chipset.
- Click Apply and OK.
- To speed up the build of large project, you can update the dependency information manually, before building the project. To do this, right-click the project or file and click Update Dependencies or Update All Dependencies.
- Click Project > Build Project.
