About this task
You can perform a remote syntax check from any
of the following locations:
- From a file that is open in the System z® LPEX Editor, COBOL Editor, or PL/I Editor.
- From the Remote Systems view.
- From the z/OS Projects or Enterprise
Projects view.
Procedure
To check the syntax of your code using a remote compiler:
- Select or open the file that contains the code you want
to check.
- Right-click and select Syntax Check > Remote or press Ctrl+Alt+R. If a JCL error occurs or the job ends abnormally, Rational® Developer for System z displays an error
message 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,
any syntax errors are reported to the Remote Error List. If
there are no errors, control is returned to you and you can continue
working.
