About this task
You can set the following preferences on this page.
- Show warning message on opening files
- Opening large files can cause out-of-memory errors and a forced
shutdown of the workbench. Select this option to enable Rational® Developer for System z® to check the size of any file being
opened (sequential data sets, partitioned data set members, or local
files) and display a warning if it is larger than the specified threshold.
This warning gives you the option to cancel the file open operation
or continue it. This option is enabled by default and the default
threshold is 2500 kilobytes. To specify a different threshold, enter
a value in the Maximum file size to open without warning
(in KB) field.
- Prompt to add dependent files to MVS™ subprojects
- Select this option to enable Developer for System z to prompt you to add dependent
files to MVS subprojects. This
prompt displays when you are editing a remote file and choose to open
or browse a dependent file.
- Display system name on remote subprojects (requires refresh on
existing subprojects)
- z/OS projects can contain
subprojects with resources on multiple remote systems. Select this
option to display the name of the remote system on which the resources
of each subproject are located.
- Always prompt for a load module name during build
- Select this option to enable Rational Developer
for System z to prompt
you for a load module name when you build a subproject, or when you
generate JCL for a COBOL, PL/I, or Assembler file. Clear this option
to disable this prompt. When this option is cleared, Rational Developer for System z uses the name of the member nominated
as the entry point for the load module name.
