Remapping a PL/I structure to a Java class type

By default, if PL/I group items have an identical structure, they are mapped to the same Java™ class. You can remap the group item to another Java class type or a new class type.

About this task

Note: A PL/I top-level item cannot be mapped to the same Java class as another top-level item even if they have an identical structure. For more information, see Identical PL/I structures.

You remap a PL/I group item either to another Java class type or a new Java class type during the XOM generation process, when the XOM generation wizard displays the Configure PL/I XOM Mapping page.

Procedure

  1. In the PL/I Structure pane on the Configure PL/I XOM Mapping page, select a parent group item of the PL/I group item that you want to remap.
    In the following example, if you want to remap CoBorrower to a different class, you must select Loan in the PL/I Structure pane.
    dcl 01 Loan,
           02 Borrower,
              05 name char(5),
              05 age fixed bin(31),
           02 CoBorrower,
              05 name char(5),
              05 age fixed bin(31);
  2. Click the Java class type that you want to remap in the Java Type column in the XOM Mapping pane:
    • Select New Class to remap the PL/I group item to a new Java class type.
    • Select a Java class type in the drop-down list to remap the PL/I group item to another Java class type.
  3. Click Finish when you are ready to generate the XOM.
