Syntax check of COBOL and PL/I source that contains EXEC
CICS statements by using CICS Transaction
Server for OS/390
To perform a quick verification of your code, you can execute
a syntax check on your program as an initial form of validation. Performing
a syntax check is faster than performing a full build, so you must
use it when you want quick feedback on the correctness of your program.
Any EXEC CICS statements that are embedded in COBOL
and PL/I source can be automatically translated by your CICS® translator before you run a syntax check.
Before you begin
Procedure
To execute a remote syntax check, follow these steps:
In the z/OS Projects view, right-click the resource
that you want to check the syntax of and click
or press Ctrl+Alt+R.
If a JCL error occurs or the job ends
abnormally, an error message displays to help you solve the problem. From this message window, you
can do one of the following actions:
- Open the job output to view the error messages and return codes.
- Open the property group that is associated with the file to view the build properties currently in use.
