Lesson 4: Create z/OS projects and subprojects

Creating z/OS® projects and subprojects provides a way to organize your remote files on your local workstation. This lesson will guide you through the steps to set up the needed z/OS project and subprojects to complete this tutorial.
Note: The subprojects are named for the file that is contained within the subproject. For example Project C, subproject GAM0VMI will contain the file GAM0VMI.cbl

To create the z/OS projects:

  1. Open the z/OS Projects or Enterprise Projects view by selecting, from the main menu, Window > Open Perspective > z/OS Projects or Enterprise Projects. You may need to select Other, scroll down, and select z/OS Projects or Enterprise Projects if it does not appear as one of the first options shown.
  2. Right click in the z/OS Projects or Enterprise Projects view and select New > z/OS Projects or Enterprise Projects.
  3. In the dialog box that appears, fill in the Host Name as Project A, and select the radio button with the option, "Do not create a subproject now." This project will be used to assemble the BMS maps.
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to create a two more projects named Project B and Project C. Project B will be used to assemble and link the BMS maps and Project C will be used to compile the COBOL source files.
  5. Create a subproject for Project A by right clicking on it in the z/OS Projects or Enterprise Projects view and selecting New > MVS Subproject.
  6. In the New MVS Subproject dialog box, enter GAM0MC1 as the name, select the radio button with the option, "Do not associate the subproject with a property group," and select Finish.
  7. If you are unable to select Finish, check to make sure you are connected to a remote system. If you are not connected, connect to the system, and then repeat the steps to create the MVS™ subproject.
  8. Create two more MVS Subprojects for Project A by following step 6. Name these projects GAM0MC2 and GAMOMC3.
  9. Under Project B, create three subprojects with the same names as the three subprojects under Project A.
  10. Under Project C, create four subprojects with the following names: GAM0VMI, GAM0VMM, GAMOVII, and GAMOVSI
You should now have several subprojects under the z/OS projects stored on your local machine.
