** DotNet COBOL Setting Copybook Paths **

Start by reading the help 
 - NetCOBOL for .NET V4.0(depending on level) users guide.  
 - Look up "Copy Book "...

The information from that help is below.


1) Create a COBOL project under .NET
2) Select the properties by right clicking on the project, and selecting Properties.
3) look to your left for the copybook tab.
4) See the following information to set your copybooks.

Note:  You have the option of adding your copybooks directly to your project as well, to edit.
       You can debug or animate through them, with the debugger automatically pulling them in 
       from your set paths, if not there.  When you compile, if it finds a "faulty" copybook,
       it will draw it into your environment to edit it, to resolve the issue.  


Folder 

This field is used to specify the folder that is to be added to the User and/or Project Copy Book paths lists, or that is to replace (update) a path in a Copy Book path list. In the Folder field, enter the folder path or click on the "..." button to browse to and select a folder. 

Copy Book paths (User) 

Copy Book Paths (User) lists the paths to the folders containing copy files. Add folders to this list when the path for copy files is different in each environment. Folders will be searched in the order in which they appear in the list. The topmost folder will be searched first. This list of paths is saved to the project user option file (.cobproj.user). 

Add Folder: Adds the folder specified in the Folder text box to the Copy Book paths (User) list. 
Update: Replaces the folder selected in the Copy Book paths (User) list with the folder specified in the Folder text box. 
Up (): Moves the selected folder up one position in the Copy Book paths (User) list. 
Down (): Move the selected folder down one position in the Copy Book paths (User) list. 
Remove (): Removes the selected folder from the Copy Book paths (User) list. 
Copy Book paths (Project) 

Copy Book paths (Project) lists the path to the folder containing copy files. Add folders to this list when the path for copy files is the same in each environment. Folders will be searched in the order in which they appear in the list. The topmost folder will be searched first. This list of paths is saved to the project file (.cobproj). 

Add Folder: Adds the folder specified in the Folder text box to the Copy Book paths (Project) list. 
Update: Replaces the folder selected in the Copy Book paths (Project) list with the folder specified in the Folder text box. 
Up (): Moves the selected folder up one position in the Copy Book paths (Project) list.
