Editor Configurations (local property group)

Use this page to define the location of called program search libraries and to configure a preprocessor. When you configure a preprocessor in the property group, the editor can start the preprocessor and identify any coding issues before compilation.

Local libraries: Specify the local folder where the editor searches for files that are referred to in statements such as the CALL statement. Separate multiple folders with semicolons (;). The Open File and Browse File editor commands use these libraries to find local called files. This field does not set copy and include libraries. Use the SYSLIB field to define copy and include libraries.

Connection name: To define a remote library, select a remote connection from this list.

Remote libraries: Specify the remote data sets where the editor searches for files that are referred to in statements such as the CALL statement. The Open File, Browse File, and View File editor commands use these libraries to find remote called files. This field does not set copy and include libraries. Use the SYSLIB field to define copy and include libraries.

Note: For fields that take partitioned data sets as their value, you can drag a partitioned data set name from the Remote Systems view, z/OS Projects view, or Remote z/OS Search results view and drop it in the field. To change the order of partitioned data set names in a field, place the cursor in the field and click Change Order from the menu.

Use local preprocessors: Choose this option to use a local preprocessor. Use the Local Preprocessor page to set preprocessor options.
