isCOBOL Evolve for UNIX/Linux provides shell scripts in the isCOBOL "bin" directory for compiling, running, and debugging programs. These scripts make use of two environment variables, ISCOBOL to locate the isCOBOL installation directory and ISCOBOL_JDK_ROOT to locate the JDK installation directory. To use these scripts set these environment variables and add the isCOBOL "bin" directory to your PATH.
For example, if you install isCOBOL in "/opt/isCOBOL" and your JDK is in "/opt/java/jdk1.8.0":
export ISCOBOL=/opt/isCOBOL export ISCOBOL_JDK_ROOT=/opt/java/jdk1.8.0 export PATH=$ISCOBOL/bin:$PATH |
Other Unix
The WebClient product is qualified only for the Linux platform. Despite the platform independent includes it, there's no guarantee that it will work correctly on other Unix platforms.
