## Using the workstation for host development with IBM COBOL: requirements and configuration
IBM has enhanced COBOL with powerful features to increase programmer productivity, simplify the maintenance of your legacy code, and provide seamless portability and connections between your host and your OS/2 or Windows NT workstations. This document guides you through the process of configuring your environment for remote development with IBM COBOL. Select the development scenario or scenarios that most closely matches your development environment: Edit, compile, and debug (Remote E/C/D) Data on host or workstation (Remote data access) All development on LAN and workstation(LAN data access) A combination of #1 and #2 or #1 and #3 (description TBD) Remote CICS testing (description TBD) Next, create a profile of your development environment. Then view the software requirements and follow the instructions to configure the communication software for your development environment. This information is presented as these three preset scenarios. If you already know which you want, go directly to the profile page to select the scenario(s) and detail your environment.
