Create a Service Interface

This section walks you through the process of creating a REST type service interface for the BookDemo application using the source program book.cbl.

1. From the Solution Explorer, right-click the ProgramCORS project; then click Add > New Item.
2. Expand COBOL; then select Native.
3. In the center pane, click Service Interface.
4. In the Name field, type ProgramCORS; then click Add.
5. In the Type of interface field, select Web Service.
6. Click the JSON transport type.
7. In the Type of source field, select COBOL Program; then click OK.

At this point, Visual Studio adds the ProgramCORS service interface to the Solution Explorer and invokes the Interface Mapper. You are now ready to define the details of the service interface.
