Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Introduction

This document describes how to compile the programs using the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that is included in Net Express. The IDE is a graphical user interface (GUI) provided for developing, compiling and debugging COBOL-oriented applications. This is a three step process.

1. Start Net Express.
2. Choose the compile option.
3. Compile all the COBOL programs for animation.

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.

We have made a significant effort to ensure the documents and software technologies are correct and accurate. We reserve the right to make changes without notice at any time. The function delivered in this version is based upon the enhancement requests from a specific group of users. The intent is to provide changes as the need arises and in a timeframe that is dependent upon the availability of resources.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Compile all Programs

Once the Net Express project has been created and the source members and copy files have been added to the project it is very simple to compile the programs (Micro Focus uses the term "Rebuild" within Net Express).

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Step 1, Compile all Programs within Project

The following shows the simple process for compiling (or rebuilding) all the programs in the project.

1. Net Express will compile all the programs in the project.
1.1. From the Net Express tool bar select the "Project" option.
1.2. From the drop-down list select the "Rebuild All" option.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Step 2, Review the Results of all Compiles

The following shows the results produced from compiling (or rebuilding) all the programs in the project.

2. Review the Results of all Compiles
2.1. Notice the messages in the lower-left window pane.
2.2. A line item will be shown for each program that was compiled.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Compile a Single Program

This section describes how to select and compile a single source member from within a Net Express project.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Step 1, Select a Single Source Member

The following shows the simple process of selecting and compiling a single program in the project.

1. Double-click on the name of the source member (ItKeKaC1.CBL).
2. Notice the "check" icon is inactive or gray. A compile (check or rebuild in Micro Focus terminology) of a single source member cannot be done using this icon.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Step 2, Compile and Review

The following shows the results produced from compiling a single program in the project.

1. The source code is displayed in the larger, upper window pane. The source member name is displayed on the title bar and the center bar.
2. The "Check" icon is now active and the single program may be compiled by clicking on this icon.
3. The results of the compile are displayed in the lower-left window pane.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Summary

The purpose of this document is to show how to compile programs within a Net Express project. This document may be used to assist as a tutorial for new programmers or as a quick reference for experienced programmers.

In the world of programming there are many ways to solve a problem. This document and the links to other documents are intended to provide a greater awareness of the Data Management and Application Processing alternatives.

The documentation and software were developed and tested on systems that are configured for a SIMOTIME environment based on the hardware, operating systems, user requirements and security requirements. Therefore, adjustments may be needed to execute the jobs and programs when transferred to a system of a different architecture or configuration.

SIMOTIME Services has experience in moving or sharing data or application processing across a variety of systems. For additional information about SIMOTIME Services or Technologies please contact us using the information in the  Comments or Feedback  section of this document.

Table of Contents Previous Section Next Section Company Overview

SimoTime Technologies was founded in 1987 and is a privately owned company. We specialize in the creation and deployment of business applications using new or existing technologies and services. We have a team of individuals that understand the broad range of technologies being used in today's environments. Our customers include small businesses using Internet technologies to corporations using very large mainframe systems.

Quite often, to reach larger markets or provide a higher level of service to existing customers it requires the newer Internet technologies to work in a complementary manner with existing corporate mainframe systems. We specialize in preparing applications and the associated data that are currently residing on a single platform to be distributed across a variety of platforms.

Preparing the application programs will require the transfer of source members that will be compiled and deployed on the target platform. The data will need to be transferred between the systems and may need to be converted and validated at various stages within the process. SimoTime has the technology, services and experience to assist in the application and data management tasks involved with doing business in a multi-system environment.

Whether you want to use the Internet to expand into new market segments or as a delivery vehicle for existing business functions simply give us a call or check the web site at http://www.simotime.com
