Quick fix

The JCL Editor provides suggested changes to resolve a warning or error annotation in the editor. To use the quick fix function, the Real-Time Syntax Checking preference must be enabled.

When a quick fix is available for a warning or error annotation, a light bulb icon is added to the annotation icon. To display the suggested fixes:
  • Place the cursor over the highlighted text. A small pop-up window displays the suggested fixes.
  • Place the cursor on the light bulb icon and left-click.
  • Place the cursor on the highlighted text and press Ctrl+1.
  • Place the cursor over the text, right-click, and select Quick Fix.
  • Place the cursor on the highlighted text and click Quick Fix.
If one of the suggestions fixes the issue, select the item. The highlighted text is replaced with the suggestion.
The table below shows the quick fixes that are available in the JCL editor.
