Local z/OS® projects are not associated with a system definition, as MVS™ projects are. When you first define your local project, you set values for properties such as compiler options. Also, you can assign a property value at the level of a folder or file, as described later.
You can export the values of project properties to an XML file. You and other team members can quickly define other local projects by importing the values from that file.
Syntax checking in local projects is performed by the workstation-based compiler. As is true in MVS projects, any copybooks, include files, or macros are checked if they are referenced in the source and are accessible. Errors are displayed in the Remote Error List view, and you can double-click an error entry to open the file (potentially an included file) where the error was found.
