MFS step options

Use the MFS Compiler Options to edit an MFS compilation step that is included with the product.

Purpose

The options that you specify on this window are used to generate JCL for the selected procedure.

Note: For fields that take partitioned data sets as their value, you can drag a partitioned data set name from the Remote Systems view, z/OS Projects view, or Remote z/OS Search results view and drop it in the field. To change the order of partitioned data set names in a field, place the cursor in the field and click Change Order from the menu.

Fields

Compiler options: Use this field to override the default compiler options in the JCL procedure. Separate multiple options by spaces. This list constitutes a PARM parameter for the EXEC statement used to compile your program. You must specify syntactically correct options because they are not verified in the property group editor.

Note: Your JCL compile procedure should contain the default compiler options as well as any site-specific standards for compiler options.

Compile Step2 name: The name of step 2 in the JCL compilation procedure. Do not change this value without consulting with the system programmer who set up and customized the JCL procedure.

FORMAT library: Specify a partitioned data set containing device format definitions.

Listing output data set: The name of the listing data set used for the compilation. The listing data set should be a partitioned data set. This data set is used to make up a SYSPRINT card for the compilation.

SYSLIB: Specify libraries for resolving copybooks or include files. To add a library to this list, click Add. To reorder the list, click the Up and Down buttons. To delete a library from the list, select it and click Remove.

Additional JCL: Specify your own JCL, such as additional data definitions (DD cards). The contents of this field are echoed at the end of the compilation step. You must specify syntactically correct JCL.
