Rational Developer for System z, Version 7.6

Default CICS preprocessor options

This topic describes the default preprocessor options based on the CICS® product that is installed on the workstation.
Compiler options for a local syntax check of a remote file are determined by the options specified on the Procedures and Steps window. Rational® Developer for System z® provides the correct Preprocessor options for a local syntax check of a remote file based on the version of CICS that is installed on the workstation. When the Preprocessor check box on the Local Compile Options page is selected, the following are the default preprocessor options based on the CICS product that is installed on the workstation. If no CICS is installed and the Preprocessor check box is selected, Developer for System z generates an option for CICS TXSeries® 6.1. Upon performing a compilation, if the proper translator for the product cannot be found, Developer for System z opens a window indicating that the translator cannot be found and writes a message to the log. For TXSeries 6.1 or higher, Developer for System z indicates which version of the CICS translator could not be found.
If you request a local syntax check of a remote file and the TXSeries 6.1 or higher product is not installed, the compiler options to invoke the CICS Translator are not added to the syntax check. The syntax check returns an error message that EXEC CICS statements were found and you need to install CICS TXSeries. If you request a local syntax check of a remote file and you have TXSeries 6.1 installed, but the level of TXSeries required for that syntax check is not available, the compiler will report the error. If, for example, you select a host syntax of CICS Transaction Server 3.2 on the Procedures and Steps page, but your compiler and integrated translator do not support that level of CICS, you will see a message similar to the following:
IGYOS0226-E ERZ004081E: Invalid CICS option 'CTS32' specified.
IGYDS0139-W Diagnostic messages were issued during processing of compiler options. These messages are located at the beginning of the listing.
