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.
About this task
You should perform this customization before you attempt
to build your COBOL, PL/I, or Assembler source code.
Procedure
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 or Assembler source code.
- Click the COBOL, PL/I,
or Assembler tab of the property group editor.
- Click Procedures and Steps.
- For COBOL or PL/I, select the procedure you want to customize
in the table and click Enable procedure. The procedure must be enabled before you can customize it.
- Click Add Step. The Add
a New Step area opens.
- 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
returns a JCL error when submitted. You can only add steps that already
exist in the procedure designed by your MVS system
administrator.
- Specify any options that should be passed to the step in
the Options field.
- 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.
- Click OK.
Results
The customized build step is added under the selected procedure
in the table.
What to do next
You can now modify the step definition by double-clicking
it. You can also change the order in which steps are executed by selecting
a step and clicking
Up and
Down.
