You can perform a remote syntax check from a file that is open in the z Systems® LPEX Editor, COBOL Editor
or PL/I Editor, from the Remote Systems view, or from the z/OS Projects view.
Before you begin
You must be connected to the remote system.
About this task
The syntax check action is not supported for sequential
data sets.
Procedure
To check the syntax of your code using a remote compiler:
- Select or open the file that contains the code you want
to check.
- Right-click and select Syntax Check > Remote 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 steps:
- 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.
If the job executes successfully,
any syntax errors are reported to the Remote Error List.
If there are no errors, control is returned to you and you can continue
working.
