This will copy source COBOLs from %PS_HOME%\src\cbl\base to C:\Temp (or whatever drive and directory you specify), compile them and put them in a directory named %PS_HOME%\CBLBIN(A/E/U) where A=Ansi, E=EBCDIC and U=Unicode.Īfter the build, the build log will be displayed. To build all cobols, run the following command (in Windows) from %PS_HOME%\setup: cblbld.bat C: \temp If not, you may have forgot to set the COBROOT environment variable.

For example, C:\NetExpress\Base.īrowse to your PeopleSoft File Server and copy the following files from %PS_HOME%\src\cbl\win32 to your C:\WINDOWS directory:Ĭopying them to your WINDOWS directory lets you run them from anywhere as they are automatically in the system path.Īlternatively you could add %PS_HOME%\src\cbl\win32 to your system path.Ĭopy all the COBOLs from your PeopleSoft file server to a local directory ( C:\COBOL).Ĭommand prompt to the local directory and attempt to compile a program (e.g. This points to the Base directory of your Microfocus NetExpress installation. You will need create a system environment variable called COBROOT. This is just a preference, I'm not sure if it causes any issues. I like to use something like C:\NetExpress rather than the default directory. When you install Microfocus, put it in a directory with no spaces.

* Presents useful techniques for maintaining and modifying older "legacy" programs. * Introduces you to programming tools such as pseudocode and hierarchy charts that make program logic more structured, modular, and top-down. * Covers information processing and systems concepts that will help you interact with users and systems analysts when designing programs. * Shows how to design programs that area easy to read, debug, modify, and maintain.
