About this task
A rule file contains a set of code review rules to be applied by the z/OS® code review application. The application requires a rule file to be
specified. A rule file can include built-in rules, custom rules, and user-written rules. It can contain both COBOL and PL/I rules, in case the code review analysis
targets both COBOL and PL/I source code files.

information into a
