Installing ICOBOL
2.15 for AOS Systems

1. Create a :util:icobol.215 directory on your MV and copy the ICOBOL 2.15 software into it.
2. Log in as OP and at the cli prompt type DIR:UTIL:ICOBOL.215.
3. Type X/S ICPERMIT <NL>
4. Select #1 on the menu and follow the instructions. (You call Egan systems and give them the control number that shows on the screen. Then select #2 and enter the activation number they give you. Then select #3 to exit.)
5. When finished with icpermit, type X/S ICCONFIG <NL> and refer to System Configuration Settings on MC's Web site. Note the following differences from what is shown there:

Under #1 System Parameter Configuration

    The number of processes allowed should be the number of licensed users plus one.

Under #2 Environment String Configuration

    ICCODEPATH=:mcaobj
    ICDATAPATH=:mcadata
    ICROOT=:util:icobol.215

Under #3 Device Configuration

    Under # 1 Console Device(@CONn) Configuration

      Under the device heading enter valid console numbers. Example con25, con115, or con1224. Also set enable to Y for each console to be used by MC.

    Under #3 Printer Device (@PRNn) Configuration

      Under the device heading enter valid serial printers. Example printer @con49 is entered as con49. Also set enable to Y for each printer to be used by MC.

    Under #4 Printer Control Queue (@PCQn) Configuration

      Under the host device heading, enter the queue name of a valid spooled printer. MUST have a valid @PCQ0 even if it is an @con printer!

Under #4 Program Environment Configuration

    Icterm is set to dg rather than pcwindow.

6. With SED editor create a file called op.ev. This file should look like the following.

    ICROOT=:util:icobol.215
    ICCODEPATH=:mcaobj
    ICDATAPATH=:mcadata
    ICSCROPT=partial
    ICSMODE=drawlines

7. Copy op.ev to username.ev for each AOS user who will be logging into MC. Example cu000.ev, joe.ev, or jsmith.ev.
8. With SED editor, modify the up.icexec.cli file as follows:

    On the first line change [!equal,1,1] to [!equal,1,3]
    Scroll down and where ever you see a ?variable_name? Without the word comment in front of it, replace it with the proper variable. Example
    string ?path_to _ICROOT_Directory? becomes
    string :util:icobol.215.

9. With SED editor modify the down.icexec.cli file the same as in Step 8.
10. Type up.icexec.cli <NL> Several messages will appear before it says system is ready. New Line for prompt.
11. Add the command to appropriate start up cli to execute up.icexec.cli each time the system is rebooted.
12. Create or edit a startup script for MC (startupmc.cli). The script should look like the one below:
Push Searchlist :util:icobol.215 Dir :mcadata Icrun Pop
13. Type startupmc.cli to get the MC login screen.
14. In MC change the default printers in (09.06) and (09.07) from @CONxx to @PRNxx or queuename to @PCQxx.
15. In MC add the printer codes in (09.08) for the new printer names, i.e., @PRN0, @PCQ0.
