Rational Developer for System z

Viewing the dependencies of a program

You may want to determine what dependencies a certain COBOL, PL/I, or Assembler language program has.

Before you begin

If you are checking the dependencies of a remote program, you must first be connected to the remote system.

About this task

If your program depends on a file that cannot be found, the file is simply ignored (skipped without warning). To ensure that files are not skipped, run a local syntax check on your program; if the syntax check does not produce any errors, then all the dependencies can be located and no files are skipped.

The Show Dependencies action is not supported for subprojects or for sequential data sets.

Linux icon The Rational® Developer for System z® product does not support local Show Dependencies operations for PL/I files on the Linux platform.
