Several years ago I developed an application using a network database and which accessed a 3rd party library. At the time I was compiling and linking using batch files thus:

compile bat:  cobol bomp.cbl anim case litlink makesyn "comp-5"="comp" omf(obj)

link.bat:  cbllink bomp.obj image3kc.lib

I now want to update the application using Visual Cobol. How can I set up VC to replicate these various commands?

Thanks

If you are still compiling to native code in Visual COBOL then the two .bat files could remain exactly as they are as the commands to compile and link have not changed. If you open up a Visual COBOL command prompt and run the .commands from there then your environment will be set up properly and the commands should just work.
