Adding the dependencies of a program to an MVS subproject

You may want to organize your MVS™ subproject to include all of the files required for a program. You can automatically add the dependencies of a COBOL or PL/I program in your MVS subproject.

Before you begin

You must first have added your COBOL or PL/I program to an MVS subproject, and your program must not contain any syntax errors.
Note: If your program depends on a file that cannot be found, an error message is returned and the file is skipped. To ensure that files are not skipped, run a local syntax check on your program; if the syntax check does not produce any errors, then all the dependencies can be located and no files are skipped.

Procedure

  1. Right-click the COBOL or PL/I program in the z/OS Projects view. The Show Dependencies action is not supported for sequential data sets.
  2. Click Show Dependencies in the context menu. A window opens, listing the dependencies for the selected program.
    Note: If the subproject you are working with belongs to a host-based project, you can only display the dependencies. You cannot add dependencies to a host-based subproject.
  3. Select the dependencies you want to add to your subproject in the list box.
  4. Check the Add selected to subproject check box.
  5. Click Finish. The selected dependencies are added to your MVS subproject.
