Rational Developer for System z

Editing a remote file

Editing a remote system file opens it in the System z® LPEX Editor.
You must be connected to the system and have located the file you want to edit.
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.

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).

To edit a remote file:
  1. In the Remote Systems view or z/OS Projects view, select a file.
  2. Double-click the file or right-click and select Open from the pop-up menu. The file is opened in the System z LPEX Editor. The file is locked on the remote system while you are editing it.
  3. To open the file with a different editor, right-click it and select Open with from the pop-up menu.
