Before running the tutorial, create a text file named test.properties in the working directory and put the following lines in it:
iscobol.file.index=ctree2
iscobol.sqlserver.iss=1
iscobol.isspath=.
To run the cobol_Tutorial1 program, start the isCOBOL runtime as follows:
iscrun.exe –J-Discobol.conf=test.properties COBOL_TUTORIAL1
iscobol.properties Setting: The tutorial will fail if you have the following setting in iscobol.properties:
iscobol.io_creates=1
This section is specific to ACUCOBOL. If you are using a different COBOL compiler, change the commands accordingly.
If you run the tutorial with iscobol.io_creates=1 enabled, comment out that setting and delete the custmast.dat and custmast.idx files.
