You may want to determine what dependencies a
certain COBOL, PL/I, or Assembler language program has.
Before you begin
If you are checking the dependencies of a remote program,
you must first be connected to the remote system.
About this task
If your program depends on a file that cannot be found,
the file is simply ignored (skipped without warning). 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.
The Show
Dependencies action is not supported for subprojects or
for sequential data sets.
The Rational® Developer for System z® product does not support local Show
Dependencies operations for PL/I files on the Linux platform.
Procedure
- To check the dependencies of a program, right-click the
program and click Show Dependencies.
- To check the dependencies of all programs in a local project,
right-click the project name and click Show Dependencies.
Results
If a JCL error occurs or the job ends abnormally,
an error message displays to help you solve the problem. From this
message window, you can do one of the following:
- Open the job output to view the error messages and return codes.
- Open the property group associated with the file to view the build
properties currently in use.
If the job executes successfully, a window opens listing all
dependencies for the program or project.
