Setting the data import configuration properties for PL/I files

You can set the data import configuration properties for the source PL/I file that you import into your project.

Before you begin

This page allows you to set the data import configuration properties for this data binding file. You can change the defaults for these properties in the Preferences page. Alternatively, you can change the properties in the source code in the Java™ editor once you close the wizard.

About this task

Once you have imported your PL/I source file into your project, you can set the data import configuration properties.

Procedure

  1. Platform: select the platform on which the PL/I program runs.
  2. Code Page Selection: indicate the Codepage of the PL/I program on the target platform.
  3. To set the advanced data import configuration properties, click Show Advanced.
  4. Enable IMS™ Support
    • Checked
    • Unchecked
  5. : CICS® Option

    Three options for CICS translation are available:

    • None - No CICS translator is used when importing PL/I source
    • CICS Transaction Server for z/OS® v3.1 - CICS v3.1 translator is used when importing PL/I source.
    • CICS Transaction Server for z/OS v3.2. - CICS v3.2 translator is used when importing PL/I source.
  6. Endian
    • Little: The little endian representation of integer data.
    • Big: The big endian representation of integer data.
  7. DBCS option
    • NODBCS: The NODBCS option causes the listing to show all DBCS shift-code (that is, 0x0e and 0x0f codes) as ".".
    • DBCS: The DBCS option specifies that the source program does not contain double-byte characters.
  8. GRAPHIC option
    • NOGRAPHIC: The NOGRAPHIC option specifies that the source program does not contain double-byte characters.
    • GRAPHIC: The GRAPHIC option specifies that the source program can contain double-byte characters. The hexadecimal codes '0E' and '0F' are treated as the shift-out and shift-in control codes, respectively, wherever they appear in the source program, including occurrences in comments and string constants.
  9. Click Next.

What to do next

Now that you have added the data import properties for your PL/I file, you can save these data bean properties.
