Local Options

Use this page to specify local macro and copy libraries for Assembler source files. For information about configuring macro files for local Assembler resources open in the z Systems LPEX Editor, see Setting HLASM Parser preferences. For a summary of copy and macro library support for the HLASM and z Systems LPEX Editor, see Copy and macro library support in HLASM files.
Note: Remote property groups include pages and fields for specifying local libraries and remote libraries. When both local and remote libraries are defined in a remote property group, the local libraries are searched first. This search order applies only to resolving copy or include files. It does not apply to compilation on a remote system. Compilers on a remote system search only the remote libraries for copy, include, or macro files.

Although the Assembler page of remote property groups contains fields for defining local macros, local macros are not supported in remote property groups.

To add a macro or copy library, click Add and then use the Add a folder window to choose a folder. The Add a folder window supports global patterns, such as **/COPY. To enter a global pattern, click Text Input and type the folder search strings into the text pane. Enter one global pattern per line.

Use the Edit and Remove buttons to change or delete an entry from this list. Use the Up and Down buttons to reorder the entries in the list.

The Copy Libraries list is used only by the HLASM Editor.
