Rational Developer for System z

Assembler step options

Use the Assembler Step Options to edit a shipped Assembler step.

Purpose

The options you specify on this window are used to generate JCL for the selected procedure.
Note: For fields that take partitioned data sets as their value, you can drag a partitioned data set name from the Remote Systems view, z/OS Projects or Enterprise Projects view, or Remote z/OS Search results view and drop it in the field. To change the order of partitioned data set names in a field, place the cursor in the field and click Change Order from the pop-up menu.

Fields

Assembler Options: The list of assembler options, separated by spaces. This list constitutes a PARM parameter for the EXEC statement used to assemble your program. This field is limited to 100 characters and the limit is imposed by the JCL processing. Rational® Developer for System z® displays a warning when this limit is reached. This limit includes not only the characters you type into this field, but also any parameters that are concatenated with these parameters.

Note: If you are reaching this limit due to several assembler options specified, check your JES listing to ensure that you are not specifying duplicate assembler options. Your JCL assembler procedure should contain the default assembler options required for error feedback, as well as any site-specific standards for assembler options.

Listing Output Data Set: The name of the listing data set used for the assembly. The listing data set should be a partitioned data set. This data set is used to make up a SYSPRINT card for the assembly.

Object Deck Data Set: The name of the object deck data set used for the assembly. The object deck data set should be a partitioned data set. This data set is used to make up a SYSLIN card for the assembly.

Macro Libraries: The list of partitioned data sets containing segments of source that are the macro files. These data set names should be separated by spaces.

Support Error Feedback: Select this check box to log errors generated by the assembler.

Data Set Qualifier for Compiler Errors: Errors generated by the assembler are logged to a file that is named with this qualifier. This function is supported only if Support Error Feedback is enabled.

Additional JCL: This field allows you to specify your own JCL. Additional data definitions (DD cards) can be specified here. The contents of this field are echoed at the end of the assembly step. You must specify syntactically correct JCL.
