You can set custom preprocessor properties for supporting
error feedback.
To set up properties to support error feedback for custom
preprocessors, do these steps:
- From a properties window, open the Add a New
Step or User-Defined Step Options window. To open these windows, do the following steps:
- From the Assembler Settings, COBOL Settings, or PL/I
Settings page of the properties window, select the Procedures
and Steps tab.
- Select the procedure name to which you want to add a
custom step or that has an existing custom step.
- To enable the procedure, click the Enable
procedure button. A procedure must be enabled
before you can add a step to it or edit an existing step.
- Click Add step to open the Add
a New Step window or Edit step to
open the User-Defined Step Options window.
- Click the Support Error Feedback check
box. The Data Set Qualifier for Compiler
Errors field is activated.
- Specify the error feedback qualifier used by Rational® Developer for System z® to generate the SYSXMLSD DD card
in the JCL. If your preprocessor writes the XML file in
UTF-8, then make sure the qualifier name specified includes ERRWDZ. Rational Developer for System z transfers files with
ERRWDZ as a qualifier in binary format to avoid any code page translations.
To handle the file transfer, a default mapping for **ERRWDZ has been
defined in the z/OS® File System
Mappings.
