Rational Developer for System z

Browsing a remote file

Browsing a file opens it in read-only mode in the System z® LPEX editor.
You must be connected to the system and have located the file you want to browse.
Note: Opening large files (greater than 2500 kilobytes) can cause out-of-memory errors and a forced shutdown of the workbench. Use the Show warning message on opening files setting of the z/OS® Solutions preference page to enable Rational® Developer for System z to check the size of any file being opened and display a warning if it is larger than the specified threshold. See z/OS Solutions preferences for more information about this setting.

You can check the size of a file before opening it by opening the Properties view. This view shows the file size for remote resources in bytes (for resources that are less than 1000 bytes) or in kilobytes (for resources that are greater than or equal to 1000 bytes).

  1. Select the file in the Remote Systems view or z/OS Projects view.
  2. From the pop-up menu, click Browse. The file is opened in read-only mode for you to view.
