Use the View Copy Member action
to open a copybook from the COBOL Editor or System z® LPEX editor. The copybook 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 copybook
must be located in SYSLIB. Ensure that the property group settings
are defined properly and that the data sets and members are properly
allocated.
Procedure
- Select a copybook name in a program file open in the editor.
- Right-click and select View Copy Member from
the pop-up menu. The copybook opens in the editor.
- 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.
