The System z® COBOL
Editor and PL/I Editor provide suggested changes to resolve a warning
or error annotation in the editor. To use the quick fix function,
the Annotation and Tooling preference must be enabled.
When a quick fix is available for a warning or error annotation,
a light bulb icon appears with the annotation icon. To display the
suggested fixes, do one of the following:
- Place the cursor over the highlighted text and a small pop-up
will display the suggested fixes
- Place the cursor on the light bulb icon and left mouse click
- Place the cursor within the highlighted text and click Ctrl +
1
- Place the cursor over the text, right mouse click, then
- Place the cursor within the highlighted text and click
If one of the suggestions fixes the issue, select the item and
the highlighted text is replaced with the suggestion.
Table 1 shows the quick fixes that are
available in the COBOL and PL/1 editor. The CIC/SQL/DLI column indicates
the quick fixes supported for EXEC CICS®,
EXEC SQL, and EXEC DLI statements in COBOL and PL/I source files when
using the PL/1 Editor and COBOL Editor.
