Importing COBOL structures with the Import COBOL Files wizard
The Import COBOL Files wizard allows you to generate service flow
project messages directly from COBOL data structures in existing COBOL source
files.
About the Import COBOL Files wizard
This topic provides general information about the Import
COBOL Files wizard and describes some minor restrictions.
Importing COBOL files from a remote z/OS system
Follow the instructions in this topic if you want to use
the Import COBOL Files wizard to import COBOL files and their dependent
copy book files from a remote z/OS® system
into your service flow project.
1. Import COBOL files
The first page of the Import COBOL file wizard, titled Import
COBOL Files, allows you to specify the COBOL files that
contain the data structures that you want to convert to service flow
project messages, and also allows you to specify the subproject in
which you want to store the new message files and (optionally) the
new or modified operations file.
2. Create COBOL programs
The second page of the Import COBOL Files wizard, titled Create
COBOL programs, allows you to create one or more operations
that use the messages that you imported on the first page of the wizard.
3. COBOL import options
The third page of the Import COBOL Files wizard, titled COBOL
Import Options, allows you to specify values for the optional
settings that the service flow project tools use when generating COBOL
source code files. (You will have another chance to modify these settings
when you create the generation properties file.)
