Problem:

You may want to call a .int file that is has been built in alocated in a different directory from within the Net Express IDE.

As an example, you may need to to run a .int from the current project directory and then make a cobol call to a .int file in the debug folder of another project.

Resolution:

As an example, you may have 2 programs, Call1 which calls Call2. Projects for these may be created in the following (separate) directories:

For Call1 - C:\\TEST\\Call1

For Call2 - C:\\TEST\\Call2

In the project directory for Call1 load Call1.app into the IDE.

You now need to change the COBDIR environment variable to point to the \\DEBUG directory of the project directory for Call 2.

To do this select 'Project' from the menu bar. Then select 'Properties' and the IDE tab. To set  the  environment variable enter COBDIR in the "Variable" field and %COBDIR%;C:\\TEST\\Call2\\DEBUG in 'Value" field.

Then select the 'Set' button.

Now, if you run/animate it Call1 should be able to find Call2 when the call to the sub program is made.
