This document describes how to point to copy file directories within a Net Express project using the Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The IDE is a graphical user interface (GUI) provided for developing, compiling and debugging COBOL-oriented applications. This is a three four process.

1.	Selecting Project Properties.
2.	Selecting the Environment for the IDE.
3.	Defining the Concatenated Copy File Directories
4.	Viewing the Project with Copy Files

Note: This module is part of The SimoPATH Series of training and reference materials. For more information refer to The Home Page for The SimoPATH Series.

Defining Copy File Directories to a Project
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

The following describes how to define copy file directories to a Net Express project.

Step 1, Selecting Project Properties
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

The first task is to make the copy file directories part of the project properties.

1.1	From the Net Express tool bar select "Project" option.
1.2	From the drop-down list select "Properties..." option.

Step 2, Selecting the Environment for the IDE
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

The following window should be displayed.

2.1	From the "Project Properties" window click on the "IDE" button.

Step 3, Defining the Concatenated Copy File Directories
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

The following Window should be displayed.

3.1	In the "Variable;" box type in the variable name "COBCPY".
3.2	In the "Value:" box type in the drive/directory names of the directories that contain COBOL copy files. The names are separated by a semi-colon (;). For this example use "c:\DataMig1\CobCpy1;c:\SimoLIBR"
3.3	Click on the "Set" button.
3.4	Make sure the variable name and value appear in the larger window pane.
3.5	Click on the "OK" button to return to the previous screen.

The following information should be displayed in the Net Express desktop.

Step 4, Viewing the Project with Copy Files
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

4.1	The Copy Files are now accessible via COBCPY

The COBOL programs are ready to be compiled. To include the copy files refer to the SimoPATH Task Document to Compile for Execute with Animate.

The SimoZAPS Utility Program has the capability of generating a COBOL program that will do the conversion of sequential and VSAM (KSDS) files between EBCDIC and ASCII. SimoZAPS can also read a sequential file in EBCDIC format and create an ASCII/CRLF file or VSAM KSDS file in ASCII format. The conversion tables may be viewed or modified to meet unique requirements. The Hexcess/2 function provides the capability of viewing, finding or patching the contents of a file in hexadecimal.

The SimoREC1 Utility Program has the capability of generating a callable COBOL program that will do the conversion of a data string between EBCDIC and ASCII. The generated COBOL source code or the conversion tables may be viewed or modified to meet unique requirements. The generated program may be called by an I/O program generated by SimoZAPS.

This item will provide a link to an ASCII or EBCDIC translation table. A column for decimal, hexadecimal and binary is also included.
