CA Endevor® Package editor

The CA Endevor® Package Editor allows users to edit Endevor packages from within Developer for z/OS®.

The CA Endevor® Package Editor user interface supports a subset of the SCL language to allow users to edit CA Endevor® package files and SCL files, so long as the file contains valid package commands.
Note: This interface differs from the CA Endevor Package RAM, which supports only files with the .pck extension.
Files containing commands that are not valid package commands display a parse error when opened with the CA Endevor® Package Editor.
When a package is open in the CA Endevor® Package Editor, that package is being edited. Changes made to a package in the Endevor repository through the CA Endevor® Package Editor are saved directly to the repository.
Note: This action differs from opening a CA Endevor® element in the CA Endevor® RAM, where the element is opened in browse, or read-only, mode. Changes made to the element are not saved directly to the repository.

The Package Editor is divided into three parts, the Command Table, the Source Preview Panel, and the Command Controls. It is marked with the Endevor Package Editor icon, Endevor Package Editor icon.

Version Compatibility

If Developer for z/OS is connected to an 8.0.1 server or earlier, then you cannot edit CA Endevor packages. CA Endevor® packages are not listed in the CARMA Repositories view, and there is no way to open those packages in the Package Editor.
