Can Zeus be set up to envoke compiling under Fujitsu Cobol Project Manager?

Can Zeus be set up to envoke compiling under Fujitsu Cobol Project Manager?

I would suspect it should be possible to do this

More than likely the Fujitsu Cobol Project Manager will make use of some sort of Fujitsu Cobol command line tool to run the compiles and do the final linking.

If this is in fact the case all you need is a typical command line to compile and link a cobol file

Given this or any other command line it is very easy to confugre Zeus to run the command and capture the output produce.

Here are more details on how this is done: http://www.zeusedit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=32

More than likely the Fujitsu Cobol Project Manager will make use of some sort of Fujitsu Cobol command line tool to run the compiles and do the final linking.

Here is a link showing how to envoke the compile and link from the command line:

• Using the COBOL32 and LINK Commands

So for example, if you then use the Options, Document Types menu to edit the COBOL Document Type, in the compiler section just add the following text to the Command Line entry field:

COBOL32 -M "$fn"

You should now be able to open a COBOL file and hit the Compile button on the tool bar or use the Compile Compile menu to compile the file.

If this results in the following message:

Code: Select all

'COBOL32' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

This means the COBOL32.exe is not in the current PATH environment variable.

To fix this you need to locate the COBOL32.exe file and add its folder location to the PATH environment variable. Here is a link that gives instructions on how modify the PATH environment variable:

COBOL??

Zeus is being used as a COBOL editor? COOL! You should keep a list of all the languages that Zeus has been used for. Although you've got pretty much most of them available for writing macros too, don't you? :)
