1.1.4 The Object-Oriented Source Code Generated

When you save and build a PowerCOBOL project, using Object COBOL as the scripting language, an object- oriented COBOL program is generated, compiled and linked "under the covers" for each form in the application.

While you need never actually examine this object-oriented COBOL source code, you may if you like. When the application is built, a file with the name of each form and a .PRC extension will be created in one of the project's subdirectories depending on your current build mode.

Simply find the .PRC file and edit it to view it. For the sample Hello World application, whose project view is shown above in Figure 1.1, a single file named "Mainform.PRC" would be generated.
