The information necessary for executing a COBOL program is called runtime environment information. The two types of runtime environment information are environment variable information and entry information. The COBOL runtime uses environment variable information to obtain environment-specific information at the start of processing. Entry information is used to specify information on the dynamic program structure.
In NetCOBOL Studio, the Runtime Environment Setup Tool is used to set runtime environment information. The Run-time Environment Setup Tool can be started by double-clicking the runtime initialization file (COBOL85.CBR) that is generated when a project is created in the "Dependency" or "Structure" view. Environment variable information can be specified from the "Run Configurations" dialog box.
For details on runtime environment information, see the NetCOBOL User's Guide.
Note
In NetCOBOL that operates on Windows(x64), neither the Run-time Environment Setup Tool nor the files are related by initialization file for execution (COBOL85.CBR). Please select the "Apps" > "Fujitsu NetCOBOL V11(x64)" > "Run-time Environment Setup Tool" from the start menu. The Run-time Environment Setup Tool is started. Select "File" > "Open" from the Run-time Setup Tool menu bar, and select the initialization file in the "Select Rum-time Initialization file" dialog box.
