To perform a quick verification of your code, you can execute
a local syntax check on your program as an initial form of validation.
Performing a syntax check is quicker than performing a full build,
so you should use it when you want quick feedback on the correctness
of your program. Any EXEC CICS statements embedded
in COBOL and PL/I source can be automatically translated by your CICS® translator before executing
a syntax check.
Before you begin
Before executing a local syntax
check, you must enable your CICS translator.
Refer to
Adding CICS translation support to COBOL and PL/I applications for more
information on enabling CICS translation
support.
Rational® Developer
for System z® does not support
local syntax check of PL/I files on the Linux platform.
Procedure
To execute a local syntax check, follow these steps:
In the z/OS Projects or Enterprise
Projects view,
right-click on the resource you want to check the syntax of and click Syntax
Check > Local or press Ctrl+Alt+L.
Results
Errors found by the syntax checker will be listed in the Remote
Error List view.
What to do next
Double-click on an error listed in the Remote Error List
view to display the corresponding line of code in the LPEX Editor.
