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.
