Customizing build steps

You can customize the build procedures that are designed by your MVS system administrator by overriding the default values used in the steps.

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.

1. Click the COBOL, PL/I, or Assembler tab of the property group editor.
2. Click Procedures and Steps.
3. 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.
4. Click Add Step.
   The Add a New Step area opens.
5. 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.
6. Specify any options that must be passed to the step in the Options field.
7. 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.
8. Click OK.
