 | Level: Intermediate Reginaldo Barosa (rbarosa@us.ibm.com), Senior Certified IT Specialist, IBM
01 Apr 2008 This tutorial will take you through the steps of using the
IBM® z/OS™ Application Development component of IBM®
Rational® Developer for System z™, Version 7.1, to work with local
systems. It will familiarize you with the z/OS Application Development environment.
You will be working with a sample COBOL program that accesses an IBM®
DB2® database and using the editing, compiling, and debugging capabilities of
Rational Developer for System z. As an optional exercise, you can also experiment
with the file comparison capability of Rational Developer for System z.
Before you start
Learn what to expect from this tutorial and how to get the most out of it.
About this Series
Walk through this scenario and others online as part of the Enterprise Modernization Sandbox for System z.
About this tutorial
To complete this tutorial, you will perform these tasks:
-
Prepare and load the local COBOL programs and copybooks. Create a
local COBOL project, define the properties, and import the COBOL assets.
-
Work with the local COBOL program. Use the Editor, Local history,
Syntax checking, and Code Assist. Run a program that accesses a local
IBM® DB2® table.
-
Work with the local debug tool. Use breakpoints, debug called
programs, change variables, and so forth.
-
(Optional) Compare files. Use IBM® Rational® Developer
for System z™ to compare files and see possible
differences.(we' call it simply Rational Developer hereafter, in this
context only)
Objectives
You will learn how to
- Work with COBOL programs without connecting to z/OS using Rational Developer for system z.
- Use the COBOL Editor, Use Local history, Syntax checking, and Code Assist.
- Run a program that accesses a local DB2 table.
- Work with local Debug using breakpoints, debuging called programs, change variables, etc.
System requirements
This tutorial assumes that Rational Developer for System z is already started
and that you are ready to work with an empty workspace.
