Language structures page

Edit online

The Language structures page for compiled conversion lists all the high-level language structures in the source file that was used to start the wizard. Before starting the wizard, when using a selected source file, ensure that the source file contains the language structure for your application.

Follow these steps to complete this page:
  1. In the Language Structure tab, select the language structure for which you want to generate XML schema and the the transformation code.
  2. Click Change PL/I Preferences or Change COBOL Preferences button to open the desired preferences page. These preferences control how source files (PL/I or COBOL) are imported (see Setting Importer > PL/I preferences or Setting Importer > COBOL preferences).
Note: The Language structure tree views on this page can show certain data types that are not supported by the compiled conversion. These types include the ones described in the topics Compatibility: Simple data types. These specific types are marked as (contains unsupported types) or unsupported type in the tree; these selections are automatically disabled.

However, there are other types that are not supported by the compiled conversion and they are described in the CICS® TS 4.1 Documentation, refer to, XML schema to COBOL mapping or CICS® Transaction Server for z/OS®, Version 4 Release 1 IBM® Documentation. These types are not marked as (contains unsupported types) or unsupported type in the tree and the selection is not automatically disabled. If you leave these data items selected, the generation fails and an appropriate error message is shown. An error entry is also put into the Remote error list view.
