Creating an AIX connection
The first step in using the Remote System Explorer and
your AIX® COBOL projects is to
create a connection to your AIX server.
Connecting to an AIX server
You need to be connected to the AIX server to work with remote files, shells,
processes, build your project, push files, run/debug your application,
and more.
Creating an AIX COBOL project
An AIX COBOL project
contains your source code and related files. The project provides
many useful tools, such as automatic building, synchronization with
the AIX machine, debugging,
code navigation/editing, source control, and more.
Convert COBOL source to IBM COBOL format
You may have COBOL programs that were compiled with a non-IBM
compiler and that use code that is unsupported by the AIX COBOL compiler. If this is the case, the
Convert to IBM® COBOL tool will
help you convert some of the known formatting and language differences.
Building AIX COBOL projects
The topics in this section will explain how to build AIX COBOL projects, and how to manage
compile errors.
