Creating a New COBOL JVM Class

You need to create a new COBOL JVM Class in the addressBookWrapper project which will hold the record data:

1. Right-click addressBookWrapper, and then click New > COBOL JVM Class

   This opens the New COBOL JVM Class dialog box.

2. In the Name field, type RecordDTO
3. Click Finish.

   This opens the RecordDTO.cbl program in a COBOL editor.

4. In the working-storage section, define the public properties that describe a record - its name, address, phone number, and so forth. Your program should look like this:

          class-id com.addressBookWrapper.RecordDTO public.
   
          working-storage section.
            01 recordID binary-long property with no set public value 0.
            01 #name string property public value "".
            01 family string property public value "".
            01 postalCode binary-long property public value 0.
            01 city string property public value "".
            01 street string property public value "".
            01 phone string property public value "".
          method-id instanceMethod.
          local-storage section.
          procedure division.
   
              goback.
          end method.
          
          end class.
   

5. Define a constructor that can receive id as an integer and that sets the recordID property to the id:

   	   method-id New protected.
              procedure division using by value #id as binary-long.
              set recordID to #id
              goback.
          end method.

   Note: Type met and then use Content Assist on the context menu. Alternatively, press Ctrl+Space.
6. Click File > Save.
