Editing a remote system file opens it in the System z® LPEX Editor.
Before you begin
You must be connected to the system and have located the file
you want to edit.
Note: Opening large files (greater than 2500 kilobytes)
can cause out-of-memory errors and a forced shutdown of the workbench.
Use the
Show warning message on opening files setting
of the z/OS® Solutions preference
page to enable Rational® Developer
for System z to check the
size of any file being opened and display a warning if it is larger
than the specified threshold.
You can check the size of a file before
opening it by opening the Properties view. This view shows the file
size for remote resources in bytes (for resources that are less than
1000 bytes) or in kilobytes (for resources that are greater than or
equal to 1000 bytes).
