To add files from the mainframe library to your project, some preliminary steps need to be taken in the IBM® AD Build Configuration. See The zOS Tab for more details.

Procedure

  1. In your Project tab select the folder where you want to import files from the mainframe library then right-click to display the menu and from it select Add Files from Mainframe to display the following window.
    This image shows a dialog box. You can choose the files' import source in the dialog box.
  2. A list of imported libraries is displayed. Select the libraries from which you want to import resources then click Next: the Member Files from Mainframe Selected Libraries window is displayed.
    Note: Only libraries that contain at least one member are displayed.
  3. A list of members that are identified within the imported libraries is displayed. For each resource the following data is displayed:

    • The source (z/OS®).
    • The name of the library where it was found.
