Viewing include files from the editor

Use the View Include File actions to view an include file from the PL/I Editor or System z® LPEX editor. The include file opens in edit mode, however you cannot save the changes in the same file. You can save the file using a different name.

Before you begin

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

  1. Select an include file name in a program file open in the editor.
  2. Right-click and select View Include Member from the pop-up menu. The include file opens in the editor.
  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.
