Rational Developer for System z

Local syntax check of a remote file with the OS/390 CICS Transaction Server syntax

To check the syntax of a remote CICS® COBOL or PL/I program using the OS/390® CICS Transaction Server syntax, CICS TX Series version 6.1 or above must be installed on your workstation.

Linux icon Rational® Developer for System z® does not support local syntax check or TXSeries on the Linux platform.

The COBOL or PL/I compiler calls the CICS Translator on your behalf if the CICS('CTSxx') (for COBOL) or pp(CICS('CTSxx') (for PL/I) compiler option is specified as part of your local compiler options. This compiler option is automatically generated on a local syntax check of a remote CICS COBOL file if the CICS (contains EXEC CICS statements) check box is selected on the Runtime Environments tab of the COBOL or PL/I Settings properties page for the remote file. You can select CICS Transaction Server 3.1, CICS Transaction Server 3.2, or CICS Transaction Server 4.1 on this page.

Because the CICS('CTSxx') (for COBOL) or pp(CICS('CTSxx') (for PL/I) compiler options are only intended for syntax checking purposes, you should not use them when trying to build a DLL that runs in a CICS region. If this option is specified in the IDE for any action other than a syntax check, an error dialog opens and the build terminates.
