You can customize the build procedures that are designed
by your MVS™ system administrator
by overriding the default values used in the steps.
Before you begin
You must know the names of the steps within these build procedures
and what values must be modified. Your MVS system
administrator can provide you with this information.
About this task
You must customize build steps before you attempt to build
your COBOL, PL/I, or Assembler source code.
Procedure
The following steps can be used to customize
a build step for COBOL source code, but you can use a similar process
to customize a build step for PL/I or Assembler source code.
- Click the COBOL, PL/I,
or Assembler tab of the property group editor.
- Click Procedures and Steps.
- For COBOL or PL/I, select the procedure you want to customize
in the table and click Enable procedure.
The procedure must be enabled before you can customize it.
- Click Add Step.
The Add
a New Step area opens.
- Type the name of the step you want to customize in the Step
Name field.
Note: If no step with the specified
name exists in the selected procedure, the build procedure returns
a JCL error when submitted. You can add only that steps that exist
in the procedure that is designed by your MVS system
administrator.
- Specify any options that must be passed to the step in
the Options field.
- Specify any additional JCL in the Additional
JCL field.
For example, you might use this
field to override any default values defined in the step by your MVS system administrator.
- Click OK.
Results
The customized build step is added under the selected procedure
in the table.
What to do next
You can now modify the step definition by double-clicking
it. You can also change the order in which steps are run by selecting
a step and clicking Up and Down.
