Hi 

When i try to build a solution in VC 2012. I am getting an error COBOL.DIR directive not found.

Can any body help me to resolve that.

I googled this:

COBOL.DIR directive not found micro focus COBOL

And got this link:

documentation.microfocus.com/.../index.jsp

COBOL.DIR is a System-wide Directives File

Read the info from the link above - it should help you

The $COBDIR value seems to be important

Also see this link:

documentation.microfocus.com/.../index.jsp

Same thing but worded slightly differently

Hope this helps you
