To set up an application with its own COBOL Server

Note: The following applies to native COBOL only.
  1. Install COBOL Server.
  2. Install your application executable files in the same directory as COBOL Server, or if installing the application executable files in a different directory, ensure the COBOL Server bin or bin64 directory is on the system PATH, or use a run-time launch configuration file.
  3. Create a shortcut pointing to the application. We recommend a shortcut in preference to adding the application directory to the user's PATH, so that you avoid interactions with other COBOL applications.
