Setting compiler options for linked resources

If you have copybooks or include files in linked folders located outside of your workspace, you can configure your COBOL and PL/I settings to find these resources during syntax check or open copybook and open include file operations.

About this task

To set local compiler options for copybooks or include files in linked folders:

Procedure

  1. Edit the property group associated with the resource.
  2. Click the COBOL tab or the PL/I tab, according to the language of the source code.
  3. On the COBOL Settings or PL/I Settings page, select the Local Compiler Options item.
  4. In the SYSLIB field specify the path to the linked folder containing the copybooks or include files. You can specify a full or relative path:
    • To specify a full path, type the full path name of the workspace and project, including the name of the linked folder. The following example points to a linked folder named LINKEDFOLDER in the PROJNAME project in workspace MYWORKSPACE: C:\MYWORKSPACE\PROJNAME\LINKEDFOLDER.
    • To specify a relative path, type the project name and linked folder name delineated by forward slashes, indicating a relative path. The following example points to a linked folder named LINKEDFOLDER in the PROJNAME project: /PROJNAME/LINKEDFOLDER.
