Developer for System z® provides error feedback support for COBOL and PL/I, but you
can set properties for supporting error feedback for other languages,
such as Assembler.
About this task
To set up properties to support error feedback for other
languages, such as Assembler, do these steps:
Procedure
- From a properties window, open the language-specific Compile
or Assemble Step Options window. To open this
window, do the following steps:
- From the Assembler Settings, COBOL Settings, or PL/I
Settings page of the properties window, select the Procedures
and Steps tab.
- Select the procedure name for the compilation or assemble
step.
- To enable the procedure, click the Enable
procedure button. A procedure must be enabled
before you can edit the step.
- Click Edit step to open the Compile
or Assemble Step Options window .
- Click the Support Error Feedback check
box. The Data Set Qualifier for Compiler
Errors field is activated.
- Specify the error feedback qualifier used by Developer
for System z to generate
the SYSXMLSD DD card in the JCL. Your error feedback program
should write the error feedback XML file to the data set specified
by the SYSXMLSD Card. If your error feedback program writes the XML
file in UTF-8, then make sure the qualifier name specified includes
ERRWDZ. Rational® Developer
for System z transfers
files with ERRWDZ as a qualifier in binary format to avoid any code
page translations. To handle the file transfer, a default mapping
for **ERRWDZ has been defined in the z/OS® File
System Mappings.
