Compiling and Running your project

Building and rebuilding

Once your program is written you highlight the project -- that is the first entry in the window. You casn either click right and select build (or rebuild if you have sucessfully built before and have hanged the file). This builds the executable. However you won't want to do this until you have gotten the syntax errors out of the source file. For this it is easier and in general less demanding of resources to compile just the source file.

Compiling

You do this befroe building because you may not have completed the program and you want to see if it is syntactically correct. For this highlight the .cbl file, click right and select compile.

Running your project

Once you have built your project, you select execute from the project Menu. When the dialog box comes up set the correct value for SYSIN -- highlight it, choose the value and then click set, and for SYSOUT. Click OK and your program should run.

CHECK YOUR OUTPUT BEFORE YOU HAND ANYTHING IN

Your program is supposed to produce output that matches the requirements of the project. I will take off credit if your output is not of the required form.
