Installation Procedure 

Use the following steps to install and test the installation of the HP
Micro Focus COBOL/iX provided on your system:

   1.  Log in as MANAGER.SYS.

   2.  Restore the product tape using the following command:

            RESTORE ;;SHOW;CREATE;OLDDATE

   3.  Make sure that there is a TMP group in the SYS account (for
       testing installation of the product only).  If the group does not
       exist, create the group as follows:

            NEWGROUP TMP.SYS;CAP=IA,BA,MR,DS,PH;ACCESS=(r,x:ANY;w,l,s,a:AC)

   4.  Enter MPE/iX Shell by entering following command:

            :xeq sh.hpbin.sys -L

   5.  From the MPE/iX Shell, invoke the following commands to test
       installation of the HP Micro Focus COBOL/iX product:

            shell/iX> cd /SYS/COBDIR
            shell/iX> INSTALL
            shell/iX> export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin
            shell/iX> cob -xo itest itest.cbl
            shell/iX> itest

   6.  Successful installation is indicated by following message on the
       screen:
       [REV BEG]

            HP Micro Focus COBOL/iX is successfully installed.
             All accounts that use HP Micro Focus COBOL/iX
             product must have group TMP, to which any user
             in the account can write to and save files.
       [REV END]


       NOTE 

         1.  HP Micro Focus COBOL/iX is now installed without the COBDIR
             environment variable.  Because COBDIR is not set, the
             product looks for product components in /usr/lib/cobol.

         2.  Through out this manual, $COBDIR refers to /usr/lib/cobol or
             to the path set by the COBDIR environment variable.

         3.  The product must be run from within the MPE/iX Shell.

         4.  The installation procedure may change in a future release.
