Rational Developer for System z, Version 7.6

Customizing build steps

You can customize the build procedures designed by your MVS™ system administrator by overriding the default values used in the steps.

Before you begin, you should know the names of the steps within these build procedures and what values need to be modified. Your MVS system administrator should be able to provide you with this information.
You should perform this customization before you attempt to build your COBOL or PL/I source code. The following steps can be used to customize a build step for COBOL source code, but you can use a similar process to customize a build step for PL/I source code:
  1. Open the COBOL Settings Properties page (if your source file is in PL/I, select PL/I Settings instead).
  2. Open the Procedures and Steps tab.
  3. Select the procedure you wish to customize in the table and click Enable procedure. The procedure must be enabled before you can customize it.
  4. Click Add step. The Add a New Step window opens.
  5. Type the name of the step you want to customize in the Step Name field. Note: If no step with the specified name exists in the selected procedure, the build procedure will return a JCL error when submitted. You may only add steps that already exist in the procedure designed by your MVS system administrator.
  6. Specify any options that should be passed to the step in the Options field.
  7. Specify any additional JCL in the Additional JCL field. For example, you might use this field to override any default values defined in the step by your MVS system administrator.
  8. Click OK.
The customized build step is added under the selected procedure in the table.
You can then modify the step definition by selecting it and clicking on Edit step. You can also change the order in which steps are executed by selecting a step and clicking on the Up and Down buttons.
