About this task
Rational® Developer
for System z® provides two
actions for building projects and subprojects:
- Use Rebuild Project when you want to build
a project with several load modules contained in multiple subprojects.
- Use Rebuild Subproject to build a single
load module.
When you use the these actions to create a load module, the load
module name is assigned by either of the following methods:
- The name of the program nominated as the entry point for the load
module. This is the default.
- A load module name that you specify during the build operation.
This method is available for rebuilding subprojects only.
Load module names, and the method for assigning them, are associated
with a subproject. If you build a project with multiple load modules,
therefore, the load module name used for each subproject is the one
that is currently associated with that subproject.
Rational Developer
for System z does not support
local COBOL or PL/I builds on the Linux platform.
Results
If the job executes successfully, this action generates and
submits JCL that compiles and links the source, producing a load module
that you can run or debug. The JCL generated by this action does not
produce a GO step. Build errors are presented as entries in the Remote
Error List view.
If a JCL error occurs or the job ends abnormally, Rational Developer for System z displays an error
message to help you solve the problem. From this message window, you
can do one of the following:
- Open the job output to view the error messages and return codes.
- Open the property group associated with the file to view the build
properties currently in use.
Click an entry to open the source file in which the related error
was found.
