Refreshing copybooks within the editor

Use the Refresh Copy Member actions to refresh the local copy of a copybook from the COBOL Editor or System z® LPEX editor. The refresh action causes a download of the latest version of the file on the server. Changes made in the local version of the file are integrated into the refreshed version.

Before you begin

For the refresh action to be available in the editor, the copybook must be located in the SYSLIB. Ensure that the property group settings are defined properly and that the data sets and members are properly allocated.

Procedure

  1. Select a copybook name in a program file open in the editor.
  2. Right-click and select Refresh Copy Member from the pop-up menu.
  3. If you modify the file, you are prompted to save the file with another name.
    Note: The Save as feature cannot be used to create a member or sequential data set. The file is saved in your local workspace project.
