The Custom Rules API for PL/I Code
Review and the PL/I Application Model API are complementary. Some
knowledge of both is required to implement a user-written rule:
The Custom Rules API for PL/I Code Review API
provides the base class for user-written rules and includes useful
classes for manipulating the objects in the PL/I Application Model
(PAM).
The PL/I Application Model (PAM) API provides interfaces
for accessing the elements of a PL/I source code program when the
program is analyzed by the PL/I Code Review component.
Tip: The
Javadoc information for this API includes a guide to using the API.
To find the guide, open the Javadoc information, look at the first
topic, which is titled "Package com.ibm.etools.pli.application.model.pli",
and read the "Description" section at the end of the topic.
For a guide to implementing the code analysis of a PL/I user-written
rule, see the link at the end of the topic.
