Hi Diwjen, Micro Focus Enterprise Server is a runtime product which does not include the COBOL compiler, typically you would use the Enterprise Developer product on a developer machine to compile an application, then deploy those application modules to a Micro Focus Enterprise Server / Runtime environment. 

Please confirm this helps to answer your question, or advise why you need to  compile code on a runtime product environment.

Hi Kim,

Thanks for the information provided and it helps.

However, I want to create a .dll file in windows environment using the command line utility in Micro focus.

Could you please share   some insight how we can achieve it.

Also, What is Microfocus Build server and its purpose?

I just started with Micro focus.

To build a .dll file you can either use an IDE (Eclipse or Visual Studio integrate with Enterprise Developer), Note: you need to have the developer product installed to be able to do that, see docs page:
https://www.microfocus.com/documentation/enterprise-developer/ed70/ED-VS2017/GUID-B56DEFB8-F6E4-4CCB-8B07-24E871BA2B72.html

Or if you want to use a command line utility there is cbllink, docs page:
https://www.microfocus.com/documentation/enterprise-developer/ed70/ED-VS2017/HRCMRHCOML02.html

For your question regarding Microfocus Build server , do you mean the product called "Enterprise Developer Build Tools for Windows", see URL for an explanation of that here: https://www.microfocus.com/documentation/enterprise-developer/ed70/ED-VS2017/GUID-6FEF5DD1-1F47-406F-9B71-0C972506352D.html

Hi Kim 

Thanks for the above information.

I have Enterprise Developer on Windows in AWS region. Can you share any sample scripts which will help in creating .dll file so it can help to pull the code from AWS code commit and compile.

Please do share information around it .
