Windows COBOL compilation(Net Express)

Below are the commands to compile cobol on windows.The .gnt files - executable version of cobol will be generated after compilation and copied to CBLBINU for unicode version and CBLBIN for non unicode . Adjust the paths as necessary.


set PS_HOME=c:\pshome\hcm90

set PATH=%ps_home%\src\cbl\win32;%path%

set COBROOT="c:\program files\micro focus\net express\base"

cd %PS_HOME%\setup

cblbld c: \temp\compile

(make sure you have a space between the c: and the \temp\compile)

Here is the output:
