If you have copybooks or include files in linked folders
located outside of your workspace, you can configure your COBOL and
PL/I settings to find these resources during syntax check or open
copybook and open include file operations.
To set local compiler options for copybooks or include files
in linked folders:
- For a local file, open either the Local COBOL
Settings or the Local PL/I Settings Properties
page, depending on your source code.
- Select the Local Compiler Options item.
- In the SYSLIB field specify the
path to the linked folder containing the copybooks or include files.
You can use the ${project_loc} variable to help generalize project
builds. This variable specifies the project location. It can be used
to add the location on disk of the project. If you need to pass the
name of a folder in your project to your preprocessor, you can specify
it as ${project_loc}\folder1. Upon invocation of the preprocessor,
${project_loc} is substituted.
