To use the show dependencies and remote syntax check functions,
you need to set up appropriate compiler options.
About this task
Rational® Developer
for System z® provides show
dependencies and remote syntax check functions that detect dependencies
for COBOL, PL/I, and Assembler programs. These functions use the COBOL
and PL/I compilers and High Level Assembler to locate the copy members,
include files, and macros needed to compile a program properly. These
functions are available from a number of locations in the Rational Developer for System z interface:
Procedure
To set compiler options for a show dependencies or remote
syntax check operation, do these steps:
- On the Procedures and Steps page
of the COBOL, PL/I, or Assembler tab
in the property group editor, expand the ELAXFCOC, ELAXFPL1, or ELAXFASM
procedure name.
- Double-click the COBOL, PLI, or ASM step. The Step Options area opens.
- Select the Support Error Feedback check
box. This check box prompts the compiler to allocate an
XML file during show dependencies or remote syntax check operations.
The show dependencies and syntax check operations parse this XML file
to display dependent files.
- In the Data Set Qualifier for Compiler
Errors field, type a qualifier to which you have access
to allocate data sets. This data set qualifier is used as a prefix
for the names of the data sets that are allocated during the syntax
check, show dependencies, and rebuild process.
What to do next
If, after setting these options, show dependencies or remote
syntax check requests do not succeed, check that the TSO command server
is configured properly. A simple way to check this server is to allocate
a data set from the
z/OS Projects or Enterprise
Projects view
or
Remote Systems view.
